A delicate trailing succulent with tiny, tear-shaped leaves that look like droplets of green glass. Senecio herreianus (commonly called String of Tears or String of Beads) grows in soft, flowing strands that spill beautifully from shelves or hanging pots. Its tidy, bead-like leaves and easy-going nature make it a perfect pick for sunny windowsills and plant parents who love a sculptural look without the fuss.
Variegation:
These Senecio have some gorgeous strands of variegation in them, meaning there is white and cream patterns across some of the foliage. The plants are not fully variegated however each plant has a good amount of variegated strands in the pot.
Plant Care
Light :Bright, indirect light to full sun. A south- or west-facing window is ideal. My rule with this plant is to place it where the top of the plant has a view of the sky.
Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Usually we wait until the beads start to get a bit less firm, then give it a good soak.
Temperature:15-29°C is ideal for these strings of things, but make sure not to let it dip below 10°C for too long or you may start losing the lovely little beads.
Potting:Drainage is key here, so a succulent mix is a good choice for this. OurSavvy Succais a great fit for this plant.
Hot tips: This plant is easy to propagate! Just coil a string on some soil making sure the nodes touch the earth and you have a new string of beads! Handle with care – the delicate beads can pop off easily. Rotate regularly to keep growth even.
Pet Friendly: NO
