Plant Description

Senecio rowleyanus, commonly known as String of Pearls, is a fascinating succulent characterized by its spherical, bead-like leaves that resemble green pearls strung along thin, trailing stems. These distinctive, pea-sized leaves serve as water storage organs, allowing the plant to thrive in arid conditions. The stems can cascade several feet, making it a popular choice for hanging baskets and decorative pots. In the blooming season, it produces small, white, daisy-like flowers with a subtle cinnamon fragrance. The String of Pearls adds a unique and whimsical touch to any succulent collection.
