The Senecio Rowleyanus, commonly known as the String of Pearls, is a succulent celebrated for its cascading vines of pea-shaped leaves, resembling a string of pearls.

Native to South Africa, this succulent can be found growing under bushes and in between rocks. Although it makes a brilliant hanging plant indoors, in the wild, it is often crawling along the floor, rooting wherever there's soil. If you wanted to display this plant in a less  expected way (yet more celebratory of how it naturally grows), plant in a long planter where it can spread across the soil, creating a thick mat of peas.

Due to its specific needs, this plant isn't best for beginners. Give bright light and some direct sun, but keep watering minimal, only soaking the plant once all soil is dry. The Rowleyanus tend to have small roots and therefore don't need large pots. This is often how they die, due to too much wet soil in comparison to the amount of roots.

The Senecio Rowleyanus is perfect for the under waterers. If you're light with the watering can, this low maintenance, drought-tolerant plant - with its visually striking appearance - is a fantastic addition to your indoor plant collection, especially if you enjoy unique and eye-catching succulents.
