Plant information

General

Take a look at the distinctive leaves of the Senecio rowleyanus and you’ll know right away where the name String-of-Pearls comes from. But the String-of-Pearls is more than just a plant. This cheerful and very trendy evergreen really adds value to your interior. The Senecio rowleyanus is a  fast growing plant that retains its beauty even in winter, allowing you to enjoy it year-round.

Care

The String-of-Pearls only requires a little water once a week, but only if the soil is completely dry. The plant retains lots of moisture in its pea-like leaves, hence there’s no need to give it extra water. The plant requires hardly any water in winter.

Placing

Hang the String-of-Pearls in a bright spot in your home, but avoid direct sunlight. The  Senecio rowleyanus is most comfortable in a room with a temperature above sixteen degrees Celsius. If the plant feels comfortable in its spot, it will grow rapidly.

Propogation

Would you like to propagate the String-of-Pearls? Simply place some cuttings in soil. After a while, the cuttings will start growing roots. Repotting the plant is not simple; we therefore don't recommend doing it, except immediately after purchase of course.
