Senecio rowleyanus variegata (Variegated String of Pearls)

How to grow Senecio rowleyanus variegata in NZ

Senecio rowleyanus variegata (Variegated String of Pearls) grows best in New Zealand when placed in bright, indirect light and planted in a free-draining succulent mix. Avoid overwatering by allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as the plant is prone to root rot. Feed with a diluted succulent fertiliser in spring and summer to encourage strong growth and vibrant variegation. Protect it from frost and excessive humidity, and ensure it is grown in a pot or basket with good drainage.

Senecio rowleyanus variegata is easy to care for with the right conditions. Place it in bright, indirect light to maintain strong growth and its attractive variegation. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and reduce watering even further during winter. Use a well-draining succulent mix and a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot. Feed with a diluted succulent fertiliser every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer, and remove any shrivelled or damaged pearls to keep the plant tidy.
