String of Pearls Plant (Curio rowleyanus)
String of Pearls (Curio rowleyanus) is a striking trailing succulent recognised for its spherical, bead-like leaves growing along slender cascading stems. As it matures, the stems can trail beautifully over the edges of pots, making it particularly suitable for hanging planters and elevated displays.
Its unusual form adds texture and visual interest to a succulent collection while requiring relatively simple care when grown in a well-draining medium and suitable light.
Growing & Care
- Light: Bright indirect light with some gentle morning sunlight.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again.
- Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent soil mix.
- Drainage: Always use a pot with adequate drainage.
- Placement: Suitable for shelves, hanging planters and bright indoor spaces.
Plant Appearance
Plants are supplied as live plants, so size, trailing length, number of stems and overall fullness can vary naturally. New growth may be shorter or more compact depending on the plant's stage of growth.
Shipping Note
The String of Pearls plant is shipped bare root, without soil or a pot, to help reduce the risk of damage and excess moisture during transit. Once received, allow the plant to settle before potting it into a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix.
Important Note
Product images are for representation purposes. Since every plant grows differently, the plant you receive may vary slightly in size, shape, colour and trailing length from the images shown.
