Senecio Rowleyanus String Of Pearls
£6.00
The Senecio Rowleyanus, commonly known as String of Pearls, is a stunning trailing succulent with small, bead-like leaves that resemble a cascade of pearls. This plant is perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trailing down pots, bringing a unique touch to your indoor or outdoor plant collection. Its low-maintenance nature thrives in bright, indirect light and requires minimal watering, making it ideal for beginners and experienced plant lovers.
Senecio plants are succulents and will be sent in dry soil if possible. This is the safest way of delivering plants (especially during the winter), preventing roots from rotting or their fragile roots. The plants can be watered when they arrive if necessary. Please avoid repotting the plant just after receiving it to give it time to recover from the transport stress.

Care Guide – Keep Your String of Pearls Thriving
✅ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon sunlight, which can scorch delicate leaves.
💧 Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly to avoid root rot—typically once every two weeks in summer and once a month in winter.
💦 Humidity: Prefers low to moderate humidity. It thrives in normal household conditions and does not require misting.
💦 Soil & Repotting: Requires well-draining, sandy succulent or cactus mix. Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures (18-26°C). Protect from frost and keep away from cold drafts.
🌡️ Fertilising: Feed with a diluted succulent fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilising in winter when growth slows.
✂ Pruning & Propagation: Trim leggy or overgrown strands to maintain a fuller shape. Propagate easily by placing cuttings in dry soil or water until roots develop.
Common Issues & Troubleshooting
❌ Shrivelling Leaves: A sign of underwatering. If pearls appear wrinkled or deflated, increase watering slightly.
❌ Yellowing & Mushy Stems: Usually caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the soil dries out completely before watering again.
❌ Slow Growth or Sparse Strands: May indicate low light levels. Move to a brighter location with indirect sunlight.
