Succulent 'String of Pearls'

String of Pearls – Senecio Rowleyanus

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.

Why You'll Love It

• Iconic trailing form — cascading pearl-shaped leaves make it one of the most photographed succulents on the internet
• Drought-tolerant — the round leaves store water, making it forgiving of missed waterings
• Versatile display — stunning in hanging planters, on shelves, or trailing over the edge of a pot
• Multiple pot options — available in nursery pots, black & white cylinders, eco pots, and cow pots in 2", 3", 4" & 6" sizes

Care at a Glance

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch the pearls
• Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; less is more
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix
• Display: Best displayed elevated so the tendrils can trail freely
