☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The String of Teardrops thrives in bright, indirect light. While it enjoys plenty of light, direct midday sun might be too intense. Position it to catch gentle morning or late afternoon sun for best results. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal.
? Water
?▫️▫️ (Low)
Like many succulents, the Senecio Herreianus requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a common pitfall, so check the soil’s moisture level before watering. If the pearls (leaves) begin to swell or burst, it could be a sign of too much water.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
This plant prefers typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 15°C and 25°C. It’s tolerant of a range, but sudden temperature drops or drafts can be harmful, so keep it away from open windows during chilly weather.
? Humidity
?▫️▫️ (Low)
Average home humidity levels are fine for this succulent, as it doesn’t require the higher humidity that some tropical plants do. There’s no need for misting, making it a fuss-free companion for your home.
? Repotting
Repotting should be done sparingly, ideally only when the plant has outgrown its current pot or the soil needs refreshing. Use a well-draining succulent mix to ensure healthy growth and avoid root rot. Allow the plant to settle for a few days after receiving it before considering repotting.
? Pet Friendliness
This plant is not safe for consumption by pets or humans. If you have curious pets, consider placing it out of reach to prevent any nibbles.
? Recommended locations at home
A perfect spot for the String of Teardrops would be high shelves or hanging baskets where it can elegantly trail down. Near east or west-facing windows would be ideal to provide the right amount of light.
? Air Purifying
While not specifically known for air-purifying qualities, having plants like the Senecio Herreianus around can contribute to a reduction in airborne dust levels and enrich your living space.
