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.

- Is the String of Bananas plant suitable for beginners?
- Yes, it’s quite beginner-friendly due to its low maintenance needs. Just ensure it gets enough light and water it correctly, as overwatering is its main vulnerability.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The String of Bananas thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Ideal placement includes east or west-facing windows where it can enjoy the morning or late afternoon sun without the harshness of midday rays.

💦▫️▫️ (Low)
Average home humidity is perfect for this plant. There’s no need for any special humidity adjustments.
🪴 Repotting
Repotting should be done with care, preferably during the spring. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for succulents to prevent water retention and root rot.

This plant is not safe for consumption by humans or animals. Keep it out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.

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.
