Variegated String of Pearls - Senecio rowleyanus Variegata

Senecio rowleyanus Variegata, known as Variegated String of Pearls, is an elegant trailing succulent native to Africa. It features delicate, bead-like leaves in shades of green and cream that cascade beautifully from thin stems. Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, it adds colour and texture to any indoor or outdoor space. In Melbourne homes, it thrives in bright indirect light and low maintenance conditions, producing small white flowers with a light fragrance in summer and autumn.

Key Features:

• Soil: Free-draining sandy or loamy mix; cactus or succulent potting mix preferred.
• Light: Bright indirect light indoors; semi shade outdoors.
• Watering: Water when top few centimetres of soil are dry, reduce watering in winter.
• Fertiliser: Feed with diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer.
• Maintenance: Trim to encourage fuller, compact growth.
• Flowering: Primarily grown for its bold green and cream pearl like foliage.

To maintain vibrant variegation, provide bright indirect light and avoid excessive fertiliser use.
