Botanical Name:Senecio rowleyanus | Common Name: String of Pearls
About This Plant
The String of Pearls is one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable trailing succulents in the world. Native to the arid regions of South Africa, this enchanting plant produces long, cascading tendrils adorned with perfectly round, pearl-like leaves that store water — giving it both its distinctive look and its drought-tolerant nature. Draped over a shelf, hanging planter, or the edge of a pot, it creates a living curtain of green pearls that never fails to draw admiration.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
