🌿 Quick Care Guide

💦 Humidity: Low to average – prefers dry environments

How often should I water my String of Bananas plant?
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s best to check the top inch of soil for dryness before watering again.
Is the String of Bananas suitable for beginners?
Yes, this plant is ideal for beginners as it requires minimal care and is easy to maintain. It thrives in bright, indirect light and needs infrequent watering, making it quite forgiving for novice plant owners.
Can I use regular potting soil for my String of Bananas?
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.

✨ Other Plant Features

Aside from its charming appearance, the String of Bananas may occasionally grace you with small, white flowers that emit a mild, pleasant fragrance.

If you have more questions, remember you can always ask Mossbot for help or contact us via our website. Don’t forget, we also offer a free plant hospital service if your plant needs extra care!

    Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.

    Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
