25 - 30cm String of Pearl in Hanging Pot Senecio Rowleyanus 14cm Pot House Plant
Senecio Rowleyanus, commonly known as String of Pearls, is a popular trailing succulent that is known for its small, spherical leaves that resemble pearls. Here are some care tips for this plant:
-
Light: Senecio Rowleyanus prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but its growth may be slower and its leaves may become less vibrant.
-
Water: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Senecio Rowleyanus is drought-tolerant and can handle being underwatered, so it's best to err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering. Water less frequently in the winter.
-
Humidity: Senecio Rowleyanus likes moderate to low humidity levels, making it a great plant for dry indoor environments.
-
Temperature: The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 60-75°F (15-24°C).
-
Soil: Senecio Rowleyanus prefers a well-draining potting mix that is slightly dry, similar to a cactus mix. You can also add sand or perlite to increase drainage.
-
Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
-
Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. You can also pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth.
-
Propagation: Senecio Rowleyanus can be propagated by stem cuttings. Simply cut off a healthy stem, remove the lower leaves, and plant the stem in a pot with fresh potting soil.
-
Pests and Diseases: Senecio Rowleyanus is relatively pest-free, but watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. Overwatering can cause root rot.
Senecio Rowleyanus is a low-maintenance plant that can add a touch of whimsy and greenery to any room with its unique, trailing leaves. It looks great in hanging baskets or trained to grow up a trellis. With the right care, it can be a long-lasting and rewarding addition to your plant collection.
