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!

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.

Difficult to use and eventually hose end broke
Size: 24oz, Size: 24oz
I purchased this can of Fix-A-Flat to fix, what I believe, is a rim leak on my truck tire which needs to be filled once every week or so. When I attempted to use the product I let some air out of the tire (down to 25 psi) so it would be easier to dispense the contents. The instructions on the can say to have the valve on the tire at the 6 o'clock...which I did as well. When I attempted to make the connection using the swivel connector on the can's hose it was difficult. The hose on the can is very short and stiff and because it came coiled in the can's lid, did not want to straighten out making connecting it to the tire a very awkward process. It was hard to screw the hose end on the valve without it binding so it felt like it was cross-threading. I have machined aluminum valve caps and they go one very easily so I know the threads on the tire's valve stem are clean. I finally did get it on and when I attempted to dispense the contents it filled the hose but that was about it. I could not see any contents flowing thru the hose at all. I assumed it was not on far enough so I took it off to try again and the contents sprayed everywhere showing it was indeed under pressure....just not going into the tire. After multiple tries the hose end eventually just broke off and stayed on the tire's valve stem. I was able to get it off, but at this point the can is useless to me. Obviously I cannot and will not recommend this product. I have used this product before and had success, but that was when the hose was longer and wired to the side of the can making it much easier to use, versus how they are shipped now. I would recommend going with another product or possible going to a box store (which is what I plan to do) to find one that does not have this design. At the very least, if you do choose to disregard this review, I would try it with the tire's valve stem at the 3 or 9 o'clock position which might make it easier to thread the hose end on to the valve stem,. Also, if you choose to go this route you might just be throwing your money away. I attempted to get a refund from Amazon and was directed to the manufacture's web site. From there you are directed to use the 800 number of leave a general message that is in no way connected to your Amazon purchase. Past experience tells me it will not be an easy process so it looks like I am out the $12.

This is a necessity for anyone that tries a car!!
Size: 20oz 6pk
I haven’t used this yet, but I bought a case to give to my family members. My friend who came outside to a flat tire. It was a Sunday in Utah so there was really no one that could fix it. Walmart told her to get this product. She had to drive home immediately following using this product (300 miles) It has been over two months now and my niece is still driving on that tire. It was a brand new tire that was costly so she decided to just wait and see how long this product will work. Great gift for anyone in the family that drives. This does not work on a blown tire. If you wake up in the morning and your tire is flat, or you get out of class and your tire is flat, just use this product and no calls need to be made.

Essential Emergency Kit That Every Vehicle Should Have
After experiencing a flat tire on a remote highway late at night, I realized how unprepared I was for roadside emergencies. That experience led me to purchase the AUTOWN Flat Tire Repair Kit, and I'm incredibly grateful to now have this comprehensive solution in my vehicle. This kit has already saved me twice from having to call for expensive roadside assistance, and the peace of mind it provides is absolutely priceless. The 31-piece kit is impressively complete. It includes everything you need to handle a flat tire emergency, from the tire plugs themselves to insertion tools, rasps, and even extras that many cheaper kits omit. The variety of plug sizes means you can handle different types of punctures, and having multiple plugs means you're prepared for more than one emergency before needing to restock. What sets this kit apart is the quality of the tools. The T-handle insertion tool feels solid and well-made, not like the flimsy plastic tools that come with some budget kits. The reamer tool cuts through damaged rubber cleanly and efficiently, making it easy to prepare the puncture hole for the plug. Having used cheaper tire repair kits in the past that broke during use, I really appreciate the durability and reliability of these tools. The storage case is another thoughtful feature that makes this kit practical for vehicle storage. Everything fits neatly in the organized case with dedicated spaces for each component, which means you can quickly find what you need during an emergency. The case is compact enough to fit in a glove box or under a seat, but it's also rugged enough to withstand being rattled around in a trunk without falling apart. Using this kit is surprisingly straightforward, even for someone without extensive automotive experience. The process involves identifying the puncture, using the reamer to prepare the hole, inserting the plug with the T-handle tool, and trimming the excess. I was able to successfully repair a puncture on my first attempt following the basic instructions, and the repair has held perfectly for months of daily driving.
