For optimal health and drainage, it’s recommended to use a succulent mix, such as Highland Moss premium potting mix. This ensures excellent drainage and supports healthy root development.

Welcome to Your Care Guide for the Senecio Radicans – String of Bananas Succulent

Let’s ensure your String of Bananas thrives in its new home with this simple and easy-to-follow care guide.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The String of Bananas loves bright, indirect light or soft morning sun. Ensure it receives plenty of light without direct harsh rays to avoid leaf scorch.

💧 Water

💧▫️▫️ (Low)
Water your succulent only when the soil has dried out completely. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so less is more with this drought-tolerant plant.

🌡️️ Temperature

🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)
Ideal temperatures for the String of Bananas range from 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from draughty windows in the winter to prevent cold damage.

💦 Humidity

💦▫️▫️ (Low)
This plant prefers dry environments, typical of many succulents. There’s no need to mist it; room humidity levels are generally sufficient.

💦 Repotting

Repot your String of Bananas every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally our Highland Moss premium potting mix, to encourage healthy root growth and drainage.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

Please note that the String of Bananas is not pet-friendly. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and small children to avoid any accidents.

🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves where its vines can cascade beautifully. A bright kitchen window or above a bookshelf in the living room makes ideal spots.
