String Of Pearls

String Of Pearls

The String of Pearls, scientifically known as Senecio rowleyanus, is a striking trailing succulent prized for its spherical, bead-like leaves that resemble strands of pearls. Its cascading growth habit makes it a showstopping choice for hanging baskets, high shelves, or containers where its vines can drape gracefully.

Easy to care for and highly decorative, this succulent thrives on neglect and prefers dry conditions with bright, indirect light. With proper care, the String of Pearls produces clusters of small, white, cinnamon-scented flowers in summer, offering both charm and fragrance to your indoor garden.

This unique plant adds sculptural interest to any collection, combining elegance with a playful twist. Its drought tolerance and distinctive appearance make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts and collectors of unusual succulents.
