succulent watermelon Senecio herreanus 'String of Watermelon'

• 'String of Watermelon' grows to form round leaves with ink to purple stripes on a thin, trailing stem that can reach several feet in length.
• Can be grown as a houseplant or an outdoor ornamental.
• Easily propagated from stem cuttings.
• Produces white, daisy-shaped flowers that typically bloom in the summer.
• Hardy to Zone 10 (30° F). 'String of Watermelon' will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 30° F.

'String of Watermelon' Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. 'String of Pearls' needs to be watered a bit more frequently than your typical succulent due to its thin stems. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes. 'String of Tears' grows best in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
