String of Pearls Regular Trailing Plant
Jackie Kennedy famously said "Pearls are always appropriate." We agree! Our String of Pearls has super healthy green orbs of trailing awesomeness. They reward careful attention and trail beautifully in any hanging planter. This plant is known as senecio rowleyanus and rosary plant.
The string of pearls plants is semi-succulent, which means they are more tolerant of dry soil than wet soil. Over-watering this plant is very common, and each of its watering sessions should be spaced out. The topsoil should dry out before it is watered again. When the weather becomes warmer, you may also want to spray the leaves with some water to increase humidity.
* Important, best is to bottom water, leave /soak it in water for 45 minutes then remove. Never allow water to sit on pearls. Let the soil dry completely between each watering.
