Variegated String Of Pearls

These are rare and we propagate new plants from cuttings. Therefore, most of these are babies and arent long and trailing yet. With proper care, they’ll grow fast :).

Senecio rowleyanus, native to Namibia, Africa, has pendant stems to 3′ or more with unusual round “leaves” giving the impression of a “string of pearls”. This is the variegated type, therefore, the stems are green and the leaves are both white and green. The plant is super rare and we are the only grower of this type in the US.

The plant is beautiful in a hanging basket, and can be grown inside the house in a bright airy room, or outside in a protected patio. You will need to provide protection from frost.

Variegated pearls are super tricky to ship and grow. They are sensitive, picky, delicate, and dramatic. If we ship them fully rooted, in original soil, there’s a risk of rot. The soil has to be completely dry in order to ship but if the soil gets too dry, they start to shrivel up. If we ship them out of the soil, with roots still attached, there’s a risk of rot.
