What is Senecio rowleyanus (String of Pearls)?

Senecio rowleyanus is a trailing succulent with round, green leaves resembling a string of pearls, which give it its distinctive name. Native to South Africa, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers dry conditions, making it well-suited for New Zealand homes and offices, especially when placed in hanging planters or on a shelf. Its whimsical appearance adds texture and movement to any indoor plant arrangement.

Why Choose String of Pearls for Your NZ Home?

String of Pearls is more than just a pretty face. This succulent requires minimal watering, tolerates neglect, and is perfect for busy plant owners. Its trailing stems create a lush, waterfall effect, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or office spaces. If you love unusual indoor plants, String of Pearls pairs beautifully with similar varieties such as Senecio rowleyanus variegata for a touch of creamy variegation, or the playful dolphin-shaped leaves of Senecio peregrinus.

Caring for String of Pearls in New Zealand

String of Pearls flourishes in well-draining soil and pots with adequate drainage. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid letting roots sit in water to prevent rot. Place it in bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth—direct sun in NZ’s harsh midday can scorch the leaves. For a more diverse indoor plant landscape, consider adding trailing or upright succulents like Senecio jacobsenii, or mix with fresh foliage plants like Cordyline Celestial Dawn for vibrant colour.

Complementing Your Collection

If you’re passionate about succulents and statement plants, String of Pearls fits right in. Expand your collection with other Senecio favourites like Senecio serpens, known for its blue-toned foliage, or the silvery-soft Senecio Angel Wings. For indoor plant enthusiasts, complementary options might include leafy wonders such as Calathea Angela, the bold patterns of the Stromanthe Triostar (Stromanthe Plant), or even the iconic Monstera 'Monkey Mask'. Each plant brings a unique touch to your home or office.
