where to buy string of pearls plant

Why Choose String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)?

The String of Pearls plant is beloved for its trailing growth and striking appearance. Each ‘pearl’ is actually a modified leaf that stores water, making this plant especially drought tolerant and low maintenance—perfect for both beginners and experienced gardeners. It suits hanging baskets, shelves, or any high spot where its trailing stems can shine.

Renowned for its relatively fast growth and easy propagation, String of Pearls brings a modern, sculptural element to any space. Its unique look complements other houseplants and succulents, making it a standout in any green collection.

Tips for Growing a Healthy String of Pearls

Senecio rowleyanus thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the pearls, while too little light can make stems straggly. Let the soil dry out between waterings, using a free-draining succulent mix to avoid rot. Occasional feeding during the warmer months keeps growth lush.

To create a lush, trailing effect, consider planting alongside other unique indoor plants like Aeschynanthus Black Pagoda (Lipstick Plant) or the statement-making Monstera albo 'variegata'. For a subtle splash of colour, Stromanthe Triostar (Stromanthe Plant) and Dieffenbachia Star Bright integrate beautifully with your String of Pearls display.
