DESCRIPTION

The String of Tears, also known as Senecio herreanus presents itself as a delightful succulent, featuring trailing stems adorned with petite, spherical leaves that resemble a string of beads. Originating from South Africa, this plant introduces a unique and visually appealing element to any living space. To ensure its well-being, place the String of Tears in an area with bright, indirect light, allowing the soil to thoroughly dry out between watering sessions. Utilize a well-draining soil mix to prevent waterlogging, as this succulent thrives when moisture is carefully regulated. Despite its elegant appearance, String of Pearls is generally easy to care for, provided it is shielded from overwatering. It particularly enjoys bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, but dislikes overwatering, direct sunlight, and extended exposure to extreme temperatures. This succulent's characteristics make it an attractive and manageable addition to indoor gardens or decorative arrangements.

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
