Introducing the stunning string of fishhooks, scientifically known as Senecio radicans glauca, which is a trailing succulent variety of the Senecio radicans.

The fish hook plant, also known as the blue pickle vine, is a hybrid trailing succulent that belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to South Africa. The name "string of fish hook" comes from its distinctive appearance, as its leaves resemble tiny fishhooks. 


This fishhook Senecio plant features long, slender stems that cascade down, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or trailing down from shelves.

The stems are covered in small, cylindrical leaves that grow in pairs along the stems.

When the fishhooks plant has the proper growing conditions it grows very quickly and can get up to 32 feet tall. Whether you grow Fishhooks Senecio indoors or out, just make sure you give it room to trail!

The flowers of a string of fishhooks bloom from late summer to winter with daisy-like flowers. These delicate blooms are typically a creamy white or pale-yellow color and appear sporadically. While the Senecio flowers are not the main attraction of this hanging plant, they add a lovely touch when they do appear.

Most sites mix up the string of fishhook and string of bananas plants, but the glauca fishhook differs from the string of bananas (Senecio radicans) by having smaller, cylindrical leaves resembling fishhooks and a bluish-green color, whereas the string of bananas has elongated, banana-shaped leaves and a bright green color. Furthermore, the shape of 'Hooks' is longer and flatter than that of the string of bananas, which is rounded with a plump shape.

The Senecio radicans glauca fish hooks can be propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. This fish hook plant is not frost-hardy and winter-dormant. Avoid placing it directly under ACs, as it may cause leaves to droop. The fish hook plant looks best in hanging baskets as well as pots hung on walls. These can be grown in the driveway too. 

Watering Needs 

Succulents, like the Senecio Fish Hook plant, are excellent at withstanding drought or drought-tolerant fish hook plants. That's because the foliage of these succulent plants has the capacity to store water. Their leaves will explode if the soil is excessively wet or if you give them too much water.

Therefore, you typically only need to let the roots completely dry before watering them again. Watering them before they are completely dry can cause the roots to soak up water, which is bad because they are particularly prone to rotting. When your string of fishhook plants and roots get mushy, you'll recognize that something is wrong. 

If you notice the leaves trimming or wrinkling, this indicates that your Senecio plant needs to be watered. You ought to water these plants once every two weeks or so during the height of their growing season. 

You can dramatically cut back on that in the winter and only do it once a month. It's important to check the moisture level of the soil by sticking your finger about an inch deep into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days before watering. 

Light Requirements

The glauca string of fishhooks prefers bright, indirect sunlight. If you are growing his hanging plant indoors it thrives when placed near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit area of your home. Remember to rotate the fish hooks plant occasionally to ensure all sides receive adequate light for even growth.

When outdoors, ensure light shade and full sun indoors. Avoid exposing your fishhook plant to direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to burn.

If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming pale, it might indicate that the Senecio plant is not receiving enough light, so you can try moving it to a brighter location. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The fishhook plant prefers well-draining soil. A good option is a succulent potting mix, which provides the right balance of moisture retention and drainage. You can also create your own potting mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or pumice to improve drainage.

Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soilGo to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your string of fishhook Senecios thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing, these fishhook plants don't require heavy feeding. A balanced (5-10-5) natural NPK fertilizer can be applied once a year during the growing season of spring. It's important not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil and damage your fishhook succulent.

If the leaves start turning yellow or the Senecio succulent appears unhealthy, it may be a sign of over-fertilization, so it's best to reduce or stop fertilizing until the Senecio plant recovers.

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, they prefer temperatures between 60-80°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. They become mushy when exposed to chilly temperatures for too long. So, throughout the winter, you should bring the pots indoors. If the air in your home is particularly dry, you can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plants or using a humidifier.

For outdoor cultivation, your fishhook plant is generally suitable for USDA hardiness zones 10-12. Like many other succulents, they can withstand heat well, but they can only withstand cold or moisture for a brief period of time.

This fishhook Senecio can adapt to both dry and moderately humid environments. However, they may benefit from slightly higher humidity levels, especially during the drier winter months. 

Remember, these are general guidelines, and it's always best to observe your specific plant's response to its environment and make adjustments accordingly. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the String of Fishhooks (Senecio radicans glauca) is a fantastic trailing succulent that's perfect for hanging baskets or cascading down shelves. Its unique fishhook-shaped leaves give it a distinctive appearance. This plant loves bright, indirect light, so place it near a window where it can soak up some rays. When it comes to watering, it's best to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. This low-maintenance plant is a great addition to any succulent collection and adds a touch of whimsy to your space.

Comfort meets fashion
Size: 9, Color: A-dark Brown
I have owned a million pairs of shoes. And I am truly a rarely viewer, but these shoes are an unquestionable five stars.,These are perfect summer loafers. They fit like a glove, but do not fit tight. It is literally like walking on air and the inside is completely cushioned so you can comfortably wear without socks. They are good for dress or casual, but I like them best with jeans. They’re so comfortable I could sleep in them. Forgot price… reasonable too!

Well Made - But Feet Beware - Not Slip Ons Due to Highish Type Sides and Longish Tongue
Size: 10.5, Color: A-dark Brown
Very well made but not casual slip ons for my feet at least for the following reason : the sides are high: about .5 of an inch higher than a lot of models of driving shoes or casual 'slip ons' and the tongue of the shoe is about.3 of an inch longer : the combination makes these not slip ons for my foot with a 10.5 regular as we have to work your foot into these - which is not a Slip On.... at least not for me. A classic slip on whether a moccasin or a driver shoe is lower on the sides and does not have a pronounced long tongue... That being said, these do appear to be genuine leather and well made. They would be good for an extra pair of casual indoor loafers if your feet fits the pattern. The leather is soft and likely to stretch FYI. A good reason shoe stores still exist : try on the merch first as all feet are different. Happily Amazon accommodates quick returns so no worries and not being critical here- just informative

Borderline Fraud: A Profound Waste of Money
Size: 11, Color: A-black
The shoe pictured and the shoe delivered may as well be from another planet. Pictured is a fairly nice, well constructed shoe made of what appears to be leather or a high quality leather substitute. Delivered was a flimsy shoe made of plasticky vinyl with a sole constructed of grainy rubber blocks individually and sloppily glued without care to the bottom of the shoe, also vinyl with an eight of an inch of the same grainy rubber coating it, offering no solidity or support. Having been worn a total of one day, the majority of which was spent seated at a desk, the vinyl has already crumpled into unattractive wrinkles and creases that resemble nothing so much as a cheap vinyl table covering wadded up and stretched back out. Taking the shoes off resulted in both insoles clinging to my socks and coming fully out of the shoe. I would also mention that the shoe runs large, but I that would indicate that you should use my experience as a buying guide, when nothing could be further from the case. Buy these shoes only if you enjoy being ripped off, pouring money down the drain, or perhaps if you are looking for a gift for a person you despise. Outside of these possibilities, I advise you to run, far and immediately. You certainly won't be able to run anywhere with these on.
