Description
rooted String of Pearls and green string of pearls Senecio Rowleyanus Variegata
*ship in a nursery pot
Care suggestions :
LIGHT: Indirect light, shade, or early morning sun. Variegates are more sensitive to direct sun as the variegated parts lack the chlorophyll to process it. This makes them sunburn easily.
WATER: Variegated String of Pearls, like all succulents, don’t like to be waterlogged but this species can take more water than most. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between watering during the warm growing season. Water once every two or three weeks during dormancy.
SOIL: Use a well-draining soil mix.
PLANTING: String of Pearls does best in places where its strings are able to hang or form ground cover. Baskets are perfect for letting the impressive strings hang where they can grow to over 50 cm long. Give this plant space to grow with a 20–25 cm pot with drainage holes. Garden walls and rockeries also allow this plant to spread and thrive.
Fertilizer: Use a general fertilizer twice a year to enhance new growth and the plant’s overall health. Over-fertilizing causes malformed growth.

ordered a 2″ seller sent me a 4″!! The plant arrived healthy and moist… I don’t even need to water her yet. My only note to the seller would be to find a different packing medium besides the polyfill because it is a little tedious to pull off of the beads, however, this didn’t affect my plant in the slightest.

My purchase from this store was excellent!! I had a few plants from different sites in my cart but settled on this after their reviews and discount, and detailed instructions for each plant. Some of my plants had more than the length I paid for, and came in perfect shape that the seller took their time to wrap carefully. I recommended buying the heat package if your shipment is somewhere cold like me, and you will not be disappointed!

I got the 6 inch pot with two other plants and they came packaged SO WELL, I was shocked. Took a few weeks to ship but once it did, it came very quickly. It just came today but the pearls are all in great shape. I will update this review as she settles in 🙂

This thing is growing like crazy! Arrived very well packed with little leaf babies growing! I’ve had her for about two months and she’s doubled in size!
