String of Pearls Rescue ~ Senecio Rowleyanus ~ String of Beads Care ~ Houseplant Hospital

Senecio Rowleyanus or String of Pearls care is simple, give them free-draining soil and don't let them get too wet! Unfortunately Frank arrived in my care with one of the main rules broken, he was soaking wet and the roots had already started to suffer, but Frank doesn't give up without a fight! Watch his progress over the last six months and see how he cheated death to become reborn! Otherwise known as String of beads this succulent originates from South-West Africa and is quite a drought-tolerant storing moisture in its beads so it can quite happily go for a few weeks without water, in fact, it's better to keep it on the drier side than to give too much water as the roots can rot which will kill the plant.
