Senecio rowleyanus, commonly known as string-of-pearls or string-of-beads, is a leafy succulent vine of the aster family. It is native to dry areas of southwest Africa where its stems typically trail along the ground to 2-3’ long or more, rooting at the nodes to form a dense creeping ground cover.
Special care
- Keep temperatures between 20-26°C as it is their active growth stage
- Handle it carefully and gently while repotting as the "pearls" are easily dislodged with force
- Pot it in at least 80-90% mineral based substrate as it is sensitive to water and may rot easily when soil is waterlogged
- Propagate by cuttings, roots will be formed at every node
- Place it in a bright, airy location receiving a mix of direct and filtered sunlight
- Water only when the soil is bone dry
