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

Great stuff.
Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6, Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
My RV had moderate oxidation. I tried several polishes and waxes. Nothing worked well to make it shine out lasted long. I applied poly glow a week ago. It is easy to apply and made my RV shine like new. So far I love Poly glow and if it lasts anywhere a long as they say, I will continue to use it.

We have only completed the first two steps it Poly Glo set we purchased and has it ever made a difference in the look of our hauler/trailer! The dull oxidize black color is somewhat shiny. Cant wait to put the final two steps on it! A little elbow grease and work did wonders! We will share a photo once the procedure is complete!

Could be good
Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
I cleaned my RV very thorough from top to bottom before even starting the process with the Poli Glow system. Here's what I learned despite videos and lots of reading reviews. 1. Must be very clean and clear of anything you dont want to stick and show on your final outcome. 2. It takes more coats than you think it would (after 3 coats) it was still really streaky and I was starting to regret using Poli Glow. I ended around 7-8 coats and my rig had no major oxidation at all. 3. As one reviewer said, use a clean microfiber cloth v the applicator that comes with it, I found much better results with no lines. 4. Dont go to heavy on the coating, the instructions say this, but I went super light and it can be very easy to get lines with heavier application. 5. Dont look at your work after 3 coats, you will feel deflated, just keep going for at least 6 coats and then look at your work. 6. Only do small areas and look out for drips and lines, you need to get them out right away. 7. I did not use the Poli Ox, I was able to get any oxidation out with just the Poli Prep 8. Going up and down a ladder for hours sucks! 9. I hope it will come off in the next couple of years when I plan to replace the decals. Honestly, thats my biggest fear is how hard it will be to remove when the time comes. 10. After a scary start, I will say it did turn out pretty nice, was it easy, nope, would I do it again? Not sure, I need some time for my back to heal up! If you do choose Poli Glow know there are other options that maybe a better way to go such as wet sanding etc. Poli Glow is pretty good, but it can be pretty bad also if the surface is not cleaned and the Poli Glow applied correctly.
