Senecio is a lovely flowering plant native to southwest Africa from Asteraceae family. In the natural environment, the plant will trail on the ground and root as soon as the stem touches the soil.
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 rot 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.
This easy-to-care houseplant thriving neglected but requires lots of bright light, during the winter when there are less than 5-8 hours of light a day you may consider using artificial, growth light. Water only when the soil dries out, the plant is very sensitive to overwatering.

- How should I water my String of Teardrops Senecio Herreianus to avoid overwatering?
- Water the plant thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried out. If the pearls (leaves) begin to swell significantly, this might indicate overwatering. Always check the top inch of the soil for dryness before watering again.
- Can the String of Teardrops be placed in direct sunlight?
- It thrives in bright but indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun as it can be too harsh, but morning and late afternoon sunlight are beneficial for its growth.
- Is the String of Teardrops Senecio Herreianus suitable for beginners?
- Yes, it’s an excellent choice for beginners due to its easy care requirements. Just ensure it receives enough light and be cautious with watering, and it should thrive with minimal attention.
☀️ 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.
✨ Other Plant Features

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
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.
