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.

Skincare STAPLE
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I originally bought these before my wedding and used them 2–3 nights a week to help boost hydration and get my skin looking its best. I honestly noticed a difference after just a few uses—my skin looked plumper, more hydrated, and had a healthier glow overall. What impressed me most is that I didn’t stop using them after the wedding. A lot of beauty products end up being a one-time purchase for a special event, but these became a regular part of my skincare routine. I wake up with softer, smoother, more refreshed-looking skin every time I use one. If you’re prepping for a wedding, special event, or just need an extra hydration boost, I definitely recommend giving these a try. They’ve become one of the few skincare products I’ve consistently repurchased.

My Favorite Face Mask for Hydrated, Glowing Skin
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of face masks over the years, but the BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask has easily become my favorite. Every time I use it, my skin feels incredibly hydrated, smooth, and refreshed, and the results last much longer than I expected from a single mask treatment. One of the things I love most about this mask is how deeply moisturizing it is. After wearing it overnight, my skin looks noticeably plumper and feels soft and nourished. Instead of just giving a temporary boost, I’ve found that the healthy glow lasts well beyond the next day. In my experience, my skin maintained a radiant, hydrated appearance for nearly two weeks after use, which is something I haven’t experienced with many other masks. The hydrogel material feels comfortable on the skin and stays in place well throughout the night. When I remove it in the morning, my skin looks brighter, more refreshed, and noticeably more hydrated. I appreciate that this mask feels like a true self-care treatment rather than just another skincare step. Whether I’m preparing for a special event or simply giving my skin some extra attention, this is the mask I consistently reach for. The fact that it comes in a multi-pack makes it even better because I always like having one available when my skin needs a boost. Overall, this is one of the few skincare products that I continue to repurchase because I genuinely notice a difference. If you’re looking for a mask that delivers intense hydration, plumping benefits, and a beautiful long-lasting glow, I highly recommend giving this one a try.I’m

my all-time favourite skincare treatment
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
literally my favourite mask ever. I first received these as a gift 2 christmases ago and have continued buying them since. they provide almost an in-office feeling treatment. its a pain to wear it all night long, as I dont sleep well with them on but its worth it. your skin feels plump, super hydrated and radiant when you wake up and it last for days. the fit is okay but once you try this product, it won't matter as it is so effective. these are worth splurging on.
