Senecio hallianus String of Blue Beans
An eye-catching and unusual succulent, Senecio hallianus, also known as String of Blue Beans, is a must-have for any collector of rare trailing plants. Its plump, bluish-green leaves resemble tiny beans and cascade elegantly from the pot, making it perfect for shelves, hanging planters, or sunny windowsills.
This succulent is drought-tolerant and thrives on neglect, ideal for busy plant lovers or those new to plant care. It loves bright light and can tolerate some direct sun, especially in the UK. With enough sunlight, the leaf colour intensifies and takes on a slightly glaucous tone.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light or partial direct sun
💧 Water: Allow the soil to fully dry between waterings
💦 Humidity: Low – thrives in dry air
💡 Top Tip: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix like our Highland Moss Cactus & Succulent Potting Mix
Senecio hallianus is known for its resilience and ease of care. It’s a great addition to succulent arrangements, hanging displays, or modern indoor gardens with a minimalist aesthetic.
Please note: Due to the fragile nature of the trailing stems and chunky leaves, some minor leaf loss may occur in transit. This does not affect the health of the plant and it will continue to grow well.

- How often should I water my String of Blue Beans?
- Allow the soil to fully dry out between waterings. This succulent thrives on minimal water, making it perfect for those who might forget to water their plants regularly.
- Can this plant be grown in direct sunlight?
- It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun, particularly in the UK. Direct sunlight can enhance the leaf colour, giving it a more intense blue-green hue.
- What should I do if some leaves fall off during transit?
- Minor leaf loss is common due to the fragile nature of its trailing stems and plump leaves. This doesn’t affect the plant’s health; simply allow it to settle in its new environment and it will continue to grow.
