Quick Details:

• Common Name: String of Pearls, Bead Plant, Rosary Vine

• Botanical Name: Curio rowleyanus (formerly Senecio rowleyanus)

• Family: Asteraceae

• Type: Evergreen succulent

Description:

• The plant has small, round, bead-like leaves that resemble a string of pearls or green peas.

• These leaves grow on long, trailing stems, making it an excellent hanging basket plant.

Care Guide:

• Sun Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh midday sun.

• Watering: Follow the “soak and dry” method—water deeply, then allow the soil to dry before watering again. Overwatering causes root rot.

• Soil: Well-draining succulent/cactus mix with sand or perlite.

• Fertilizer: Diluted succulent fertilizer once a month in the growing season (spring and summer).

• Pruning: Trim leggy stems to encourage fuller growth.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings placed in soil or water.

Uses:

• Ornamental plant for indoor décor in hanging pots or shelf planters.

• Popular in terrariums, balconies, and succulent gardens.

• Air-purifying to a small extent (like other succulents).
