The String of Pearls, also known as Senecio rowleyanus, is a unique trailing succulent from the daisy family, admired for its distinctive cascading growth habit. This plant is also commonly called string of beads, string of peas, and rosary vine. 

The String of Pearls gets its name from its distinctive, long, trailing stems that are adorned with small, spherical leaves that resemble pearls. Each of these bead-like leaves features a unique translucent “window”, a thin, clear strip that allows light to pass into the leaf for photosynthesis. These little green pearls hang delicately from the stems, creating a beautiful cascading effect. In its natural habitat, the stems trail along the ground, rooting where they come into contact, and form dense mats.

Native to South Africa, this charming string of pearls houseplant features trailing stems with pea-like or tiny melon-shaped leaves spilling over planters and hanging baskets, much like its closely related plant string of rubiesGo to othonna capensis ruby necklace.

Your String of Pearls typically grows up to 2 feet long rather than tall, as it is a naturally trailing and hanging plant. 

The moderately fast-growing nature of this string of pearls plant makes it a great choice for a variety of landscapes.

The flowers of the string of pearls bloom during the spring and summer months, with white flowers along the stalk and bright yellow anthers. However, it's important to note that String of Pearls plants are primarily grown for their unique bead-like foliage rather than their flowers. Nonetheless, if your string of pearl plants does flower, it's definitely a treat to behold!

This string of pearls also comes in another lovely variety, a variegated string of pearlsGo to senecio rowleyanus string of pearls variegated, with its white-creamy foliage.

When and How to Water Your String of Pearls Plant

String of Pearls is a drought-tolerant succulent that thrives with minimal watering. To keep your plant healthy, allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and only water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The spring of pearls plant prefers watering every 10-14 days in the growing season, and every 3-4 weeks in the dormant season.

During the spring and summer growing season, water every 10–14 days on average. As the plant actively grows, it may require slightly more frequent watering, especially in warm or bright environments. 

In fall and winter, reduce watering to about once every 3–4 weeks. Since the plant enters a semi-dormant phase, it uses less moisture and is more vulnerable to overwatering. 

Too much water can quickly kill a String of Pearls plant, so it’s always safer to underwater than to overwater. Using terracotta or clay pots helps absorb excess moisture and keeps roots healthier by preventing soggy soil conditions.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your String of Pearls 

When grown indoors, place it near a window that receives bright indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. South-facing or west-facing windows are usually the best choices. You can also use artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light if natural sunlight is limited.

When growing outdoors, your low-maintenance string of pearls prefers full sun to partial shade to thrive. Four hours of direct morning or evening sun can also be beneficial for your Senecio rowleyanus, but be careful not to expose it to intense, direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves of your String of Pearls succulent.

Keep an eye on your string of pearl succulents for any signs of light stress. If the leaves start to turn yellow or brown, it could be a sign that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and spaced out, it might indicate that your pearl succulent is not receiving enough light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil for your Senecio rowleyanus, and NPK fertilizer (5-10-5) once a year in spring for healthy growth. Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix or cactus soil mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae, perfect for promoting shallow root systems and happy String of Pearls succulents.

Apply the NPK fertilizer once a year in the spring of about 5-10-5 ratio, to provide a gentle boost of nutrients. However, during the cooler months or when your Senecio rowleyanus is in a dormant phase, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. 

If you notice any signs of fertilizer burn, such as leaf discoloration or wilting, flush the soil with water to remove any excess nutrients. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12. 

When it comes to humidity, the String of Pearls is adapted to low-humidity environments.

It can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, but it's important to avoid excessive moisture around the plant.

Ensure good air circulation and avoid placing your String of Pearls in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens.

Indoor Growing String of Pearls Plant Requirements

If you are growing your String of Pearls indoors, ideally, keep your plant in a warm environment. In general, it prefers average room temperatures between 60°F and 85°F, which helps it stay healthy and active. Its trailing growth habit makes it an excellent houseplant for hanging baskets, shelves, and high planters, where its cascading stems can be fully displayed and appreciated.

Sharp Little Guy Alert!
Color: Navy, Size: 7, Color: Navy, Size: 7
I received this navy boys linen suit set in size 7 and it is absolutely adorable — and impressively well put together for the price! The navy color is rich and deep, not washed out or cheap looking, and the double breasted jacket with peak lapels gives it a really distinguished, grown-up look that is still perfectly sized and proportioned for a little boy. My son looked like a million bucks. The five piece set is a great value — you get the jacket, pants, dress shirt, tie, and bow tie all in one purchase, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of pulling together a complete outfit. Everything coordinates beautifully right out of the box. The jacket details are lovely — the welt chest pocket, the lined interior, the buttoned cuffs — it all feels intentional and well-designed rather than thrown together. The fabric has a nice linen-blend texture that looks elevated and holds up well — I was pleasantly surprised by how little wrinkling occurred even after hours of wear, which is not always the case with linen blends. The construction feels durable and sturdy, like it will survive more than just one special occasion before outgrowing it. The adjustable waistband on the pants is a thoughtful touch for growing kids. On sizing — read the size chart carefully since it reflects suit measurements rather than body measurements. If your child is between sizes or growing fast, sizing up is the smart move. We ordered a size 7 and the fit was right on target. Dry clean only, so keep that in mind for care. For a special occasion suit at this price point, the value is exceptional — you would easily pay two or three times this at a department store for comparable quality. Highly recommend!

True to size, with hidden adjustable waistband
Color: Light Grey, Size: 10, Color: Light Grey, Size: 10
This is SO adorable! What I liked: -It fits true to size, and the pants are adjustable. My son is 9, so I bought him 10Y. It’s slightly large on him, as expected. However, it doesn’t look too large. The pants have elastic inside the waist on both sides—the kind which allows you to pull on it to select how tight you want them, then secure the elastic to a hidden button. It also has belt loops, but I was able to tighten the pants enough that they weren’t needed. -The pants have pockets. -The material is soft and looks of high quality. The inner lining of the jacket feels soft & smooth against the skin, and there’s a small pocket inside the jacket. -The tie is brilliant! It comes pre-tied and on an elastic bungee. The elastic hides perfectly under the collar. The bow tie is also adjustable. There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like—Perhaps that the white shirt is thin. However, since I plan to have him wear it under the suit coat, it’s not an issue. When my son put this on, I couldn’t stop saying “aww!” In all, I’m impressed.

This suit set is such a great find! It comes with everything you need—jacket, pants, shirt, tie, and bow tie—which makes getting a dressed-up look so easy. It's excellent quality for a suit in this price range. The linen fabric gives it a nice, lightweight feel and a polished look that works well for both formal and semi-casual events. My son looked adorable in it, and it was perfect for the spring wedding we attended. What I love: Complete 5-piece set—no need to buy extras Lightweight and comfortable material Classic, stylish look with nice details (lapel, pockets, etc.) Adjustable waistband is super helpful for fit Versatile for weddings, holidays, and other events Fit was true to size based on the chart, but I agree with the recommendation—if your child is between sizes or growing quickly, sizing up is a good idea.
