String Of Pearls Senecio Rowleyanus - 10-20Cm - pot size ⌀12Cm

Origin and type: The String of Pearls (Senecio Rowleyanus) is a succulent plant from Southwest Africa, known for its tendrils full of small, pearly, round leaves that resemble a string of beads.

Growth: Climbing plant that can grow up to about 1 metre tall with spreading, winding branches.

Leaves: Small, round, spherical leaves that store water; resemble green pearls.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; direct sunlight may burn the leaves.

Water: Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry out between waterings; reduce watering to once every 2-3 weeks in winter; overwatering quickly leads to root rot and leaf drop.

Temperature: Thrives at temperatures between 18-25°C; frost sensitive, not below 10°C.

Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent soil; a mix with perlite is often recommended.

Feeding: During the growing season, feed with a diluted, balanced cactus food once every 4-6 weeks.

Pruning: Pruning can be done to make the plant fuller and to address bare spots; use clean cutting tools.

Propagation: Easily via cuttings; allow cuttings to dry for a few days before planting.

Toxicity: Contains a mildly toxic sap; keep away from children and pets.

Bonus: A popular and striking hanging plant due to its unique appearance; requires careful watering due to its susceptibility to root rot.
