Senecio rowleyanus (String of Pearls)

Senecio rowleyanus 

String of Pearls, also known as String of Beads and Rosary Beads, is an eye-catching succulent celebrated for its distinctive, bead-like foliage. Tiny, spherical green leaves cascade along slender, trailing stems, creating a striking display that is perfect for hanging baskets, rock gardens, or any space where a unique accent is desired.

Enhancing its allure, this succulent produces delicate white flowers that emit a subtle, hyacinth-like fragrance, adding an extra layer of charm. Easy to care for and low-maintenance, String of Pearls thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and simplicity in their plant collection.

Succulents and Cacti Basic Care: Easy

• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Water deeply and infrequently, ensuring excess water drains away. Reduce watering to a minimum during the winter.
• Light: Most succulents and cacti thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Some species can handle direct sunlight, but it's best to acclimate them gradually to prevent sunburn.
• Soil/Drainage: Use a well-draining potting mix designed specifically for succulents and cacti. The ideal blend should contain porous materials like perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to promote aeration and drainage.
• Temperature: Prefer warmer temperatures but can tolerate a range from about 40°F (4°C) at night to 95°F (35°C) during the day. Protect them from frost to prevent damage.
• Humidity: These plants prefer low-humidity environments. If indoor humidity is high, ensure good air circulation around the plants to help keep moisture levels down.
• Fertilizing: Feed sparingly, only during the growing season (spring and summer), using a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer diluted to about half the recommended strength.
