String of Watermelons Senecio herreanus is a succulent plant of the genus Senecio in the family Asteraceae. It's called String of Watermelons because its striped shape is somewhat similar to a watermelon.

The stems of String of Watermelons grow prostrate, the leaves are fleshy and teardrop-shaped, green, with a stripe on the epidermis, and the stripes will turn purple when there is a large temperature difference and sufficient light, and even the whole leaf will look a little purple-red. In addition, String of Watermelons has a thicker and somewhat transparent stripe on the leaf surface.

 

Care Tips

Light: The most suitable way for it to sunbathe is to receive sunlight in an environment that has been dispersed by sunlight. It can not accept too much direct sunlight to itself, if it receives direct sunlight, its leaf color will become yellow from bright green. If the situation is serious, it may even lead to the withering of the whole plant. It should not be exposed to sunlight either.

Water: It does not require much water, and its roots tend to rot if the soil is waterlogged for a long time. In spring and autumn, it can be watered more often, which makes it easy to grow in groups and look very good. When the temperature is very high in summer, you should reduce the amount and frequency of watering, but you can spray some mist or sprinkle some water into the air. Of course, you can't water too much in winter, for one thing, it grows very slowly and doesn't need much, and you have to pay attention to prevent freezing.

Soil: In order to meet its requirements for loose soil, you can choose to mix perlite, peat, kiryu zuna / kiryu sand, etc. The amount of perlite added should be slightly less game. In addition, it is best not to use a substrate like vermiculite, because it can easily harm the root part of this plant.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots, ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability, clay pots lose water too fast, plastic pots retain water too strong, and poor permeability. Also they do best in hanging baskets.

Temperature: Like a warm growth environment, it is adaptable, relatively hardy growth of the appropriate temperature is between  55 - 77°F (13 - 25 ℃), winter overwintering temperature is generally not less than 41°F (5 ℃).

Humidity: Prefer a humid environment 50% to 60% humidity, can give sufficient moisture, but the summer stifling heat should pay attention to ventilation. It grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Easy to grab and throw!
      Size: Medium
      Our puppy loves this ball, although it gets stuck on her teeth sometimes, but she gets it off just fine! Easy to play and throw. She has a blast catching it, too!

      Keeps my dog happy
      Size: Medium
      This is a fun toy for our cavalier. It's pretty versatile in how you can use it, which I like because it allows me to change things up to keep my dog engaged. He's also an aggressive chewer and he hasn't destroyed it.

      Good size and great bounce!
      Size: Small
      My 1 1/2 year old Cavapoo loves this toy. Very light weight ball that bounces off her paws when she reaches for it and then having to chase it further. Then she charges back with it for another chase when I throw it again.

      THE BEST INDESTRUCTIBLE BALL
      Size: Medium, Size: Medium
      I bought this ball 6 months ago and feel obligated to come back all these months later to say how great it is! My Frenchie has killed every toy he’s ever had but not this ball! He absolutely loves this ball. It’s lightweight and can be used for both indoor and outdoor play and still looks brand new.

      good ball, wrong color
      Size: Medium
      I think the hot-ee roller is a great ball! My problem is that there is no option to select a color. I thought I was getting a purple one, since that is what is shown in the picture. As usual, I failed to read that it was assorted colors. I have a peculiar little dog that will only play with the purple one. His current purple one is in tatters. You could hardly even call it a ball at this point. We have red, blue and green and they are invisible to him.
