String of Pearls

String of Pearls is the botanical equivalent of statement jewelry. With trailing vines of perfectly round, bead-like leaves, it brings elegance with just a hint of attitude. This succulent may look dainty, but treat it right and it’ll cascade like a chandelier in a villain’s lair.

Definitely not for overwaterers — this one likes its soil on the dry side.

• Botanical Name: Senecio rowleyanus
• Common Names: String of Pearls, String-of-Beads
• Ideal Lighting: Bright, indirect light. A sunny windowsill works wonders.
• Care Notes: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Root rot is the fastest way to lose its trust.
