Plant in a Box Senecio Rowleyanus - Pearl Necklace

The Senecio Rowleyanus, also known as String of Pearls, is an incredibly fun plant. This trailing plant produces long stems adorned with small beads. In cooler climates, the Senecio is kept as a houseplant, but in warm, dry climates, it can also be placed outdoors. Additionally, caring for this plant is very easy since it is a succulent. Therefore, it requires very little water.

An interesting fact is that you can easily take cuttings from these plants. Simply cut a stem and place it in water. Once it has developed roots, it can be potted in soil. This way, you can grow your own String of Pearls.

Care
The Senecio Rowleyanus needs little water, as it is a true succulent. The plant stores water in its thickened parts, allowing it to go for quite some time without water. It is important for the soil to dry out between waterings. The Senecio Rowleyanus prefers to be watered from below, so using an inner pot is best. The plant requires minimal plant food, once every 2 months is more than enough. The stems of the Senecio can eventually grow up to 200 cm long. Be cautious, as the plant is mildly toxic to pets.
