Senecio - String of Pearls
Good for a hanging pot or on a shelf where it can hang over the edge.
Height including pot; 24 cms.
To ensure your String of Pearls thrives, consider the following care tips:
-
Lighting: Place your plant in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, prolonged exposure can lead to leaf burn. A spot that receives several hours of morning sun, followed by indirect light, is ideal.
-
Watering: Overwatering is a common mistake with this plant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, typically every two weeks. During the winter months, reduce watering further, as the plant enters a dormant phase.
-
Soil and Drainage: Use a well-draining potting mix designed for succulents or create your own by mixing regular potting soil with perlite or pumice. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
By following these guidelines, your String of Pearls can flourish, adding a unique touch to your indoor space.
