Why Choose String of Pearls?

The string of pearls plant has become an iconic houseplant thanks to its trailing growth and unusual appearance. As one of the easiest succulents to care for, Senecio rowleyanus is celebrated for tolerating neglect, preferring bright indirect light, and only needing water once the soil dries out. Its trailing vines look perfect in hanging baskets, atop shelves, or draping from tall planters, making it a versatile choice for every home.

Caring for Your String of Pearls

When you buy a string of pearls plant from our nursery, you receive a vibrant, healthy specimen ready to thrive in your home. To encourage the best growth, place your Senecio rowleyanus in a spot with bright filtered light and water sparingly. Overwatering can harm the roots, so use a free-draining cactus mix and let the soil dry between waterings. During the growing season, a monthly feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser will keep your plant lush and full.

Pair Your String of Pearls with Other Unique Varieties

Expand your collection by exploring other fascinating and easy-care varieties. For a twist on the classic string of pearls, check out Senecio rowleyanus variegata, which features charming splashes of creamy white variegation. The playful dolphin-shaped leaves of Senecio peregrinus make a delightful companion, while the trailing stems of Senecio jacobsenii bring an extra cascade to your display.

If you love succulents, consider adding Senecio serpens with its blue pencil-like stems, or try the striking silvery foliage of Senecio Angel Wings for contrast. Each of these makes a beautiful plant partnership when grouped with your string of pearls.

Complement Your Collection with Lush Foliage

For those looking to diversify with lush foliage, you might also enjoy tropical beauties like Calathea louisae (Goeppertia louisae), Schefflera arboricola variegated, and Calathea makoyana. Or, explore textured ferns such as Phlebodium aureum Blue Star (Blue Star Fern). For a hint of colour among your trailing greens, Hoya pubicalyx 'Red Button' offers stunning waxy blooms.
