Senecio Houseplants

Senecio, commonly known as String of Pearls or String of Beads, is a unique houseplant admired for its trailing stems adorned with round, bead-like leaves. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight, making it suitable for various indoor environments. Water your Senecio sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, typically every two to three weeks, ensuring the pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Its cascading vines make it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or elevated planters.

In addition to its distinctive appearance, Senecio is easy to care for, making it perfect for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C and does well in low humidity, typical of indoor environments. Fertilise every two to three months during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth. With minimal care, Senecio can enhance your indoor space with its intriguing, pearl-like foliage and elegant trailing habit, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to your home or office.
