• Provide water sparingly during winter months. Water the plant just enough to moist the potting soil in winter.
• Fertilize string of pearls every alternative week during spring and summer. Use a general-purpose liquid houseplant fertilizer.

• String of pearls are not usually susceptible to plant pests or diseases, but mealybugs and aphids may occasionally become a problem. Use a forceful spray of water or an insecticidal soap to remove these pests.

Description

Senecio rowleyanus or String of Pearls

Senecio rowleyanus, String of Pearls, String of Peas or String of Beads are native to South Africa, where in their natural habitat they grow as creeping vines on the ground, with their stems crawling and rooting wherever the stems touch the ground. They usually grow in the shade, protected by other taller plants or rocks.

They get their common name, String of Pearls, Peas or Beads from these round leaves that appear like little green peas. These round pea-like leaves store water, giving them their drought tolerant, succulent nature. The little round leaves also have ‘windows’, which appear like little slits in the center of the leaves. These windows let the light in for photosynthesis.
