The String of Pearls, also known as Senecio rowleyanus, is a unique trailing succulent from the daisy family, admired for its distinctive cascading growth habit. This plant is also commonly called string of beads, string of peas, and rosary vine. 

The String of Pearls gets its name from its distinctive, long, trailing stems that are adorned with small, spherical leaves that resemble pearls. Each of these bead-like leaves features a unique translucent “window”, a thin, clear strip that allows light to pass into the leaf for photosynthesis. These little green pearls hang delicately from the stems, creating a beautiful cascading effect. In its natural habitat, the stems trail along the ground, rooting where they come into contact, and form dense mats.

Native to South Africa, this charming string of pearls houseplant features trailing stems with pea-like or tiny melon-shaped leaves spilling over planters and hanging baskets, much like its closely related plant string of rubiesGo to othonna capensis ruby necklace.

Your String of Pearls typically grows up to 2 feet long rather than tall, as it is a naturally trailing and hanging plant. 

The moderately fast-growing nature of this string of pearls plant makes it a great choice for a variety of landscapes.

The flowers of the string of pearls bloom during the spring and summer months, with white flowers along the stalk and bright yellow anthers. However, it's important to note that String of Pearls plants are primarily grown for their unique bead-like foliage rather than their flowers. Nonetheless, if your string of pearl plants does flower, it's definitely a treat to behold!

This string of pearls also comes in another lovely variety, a variegated string of pearlsGo to senecio rowleyanus string of pearls variegated, with its white-creamy foliage.

When and How to Water Your String of Pearls Plant

String of Pearls is a drought-tolerant succulent that thrives with minimal watering. To keep your plant healthy, allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and only water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The spring of pearls plant prefers watering every 10-14 days in the growing season, and every 3-4 weeks in the dormant season.

During the spring and summer growing season, water every 10–14 days on average. As the plant actively grows, it may require slightly more frequent watering, especially in warm or bright environments. 

In fall and winter, reduce watering to about once every 3–4 weeks. Since the plant enters a semi-dormant phase, it uses less moisture and is more vulnerable to overwatering. 

Too much water can quickly kill a String of Pearls plant, so it’s always safer to underwater than to overwater. Using terracotta or clay pots helps absorb excess moisture and keeps roots healthier by preventing soggy soil conditions.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your String of Pearls 

When grown indoors, place it near a window that receives bright indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. South-facing or west-facing windows are usually the best choices. You can also use artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light if natural sunlight is limited.

When growing outdoors, your low-maintenance string of pearls prefers full sun to partial shade to thrive. Four hours of direct morning or evening sun can also be beneficial for your Senecio rowleyanus, but be careful not to expose it to intense, direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves of your String of Pearls succulent.

Keep an eye on your string of pearl succulents for any signs of light stress. If the leaves start to turn yellow or brown, it could be a sign that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and spaced out, it might indicate that your pearl succulent is not receiving enough light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil for your Senecio rowleyanus, and NPK fertilizer (5-10-5) once a year in spring for healthy growth. Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix or cactus soil mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae, perfect for promoting shallow root systems and happy String of Pearls succulents.

Apply the NPK fertilizer once a year in the spring of about 5-10-5 ratio, to provide a gentle boost of nutrients. However, during the cooler months or when your Senecio rowleyanus is in a dormant phase, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. 

If you notice any signs of fertilizer burn, such as leaf discoloration or wilting, flush the soil with water to remove any excess nutrients. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12. 

When it comes to humidity, the String of Pearls is adapted to low-humidity environments.

It can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, but it's important to avoid excessive moisture around the plant.

Ensure good air circulation and avoid placing your String of Pearls in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens.

Indoor Growing String of Pearls Plant Requirements

If you are growing your String of Pearls indoors, ideally, keep your plant in a warm environment. In general, it prefers average room temperatures between 60°F and 85°F, which helps it stay healthy and active.

Gorgeous. But it SHEDS
Color: Cheetah Cherry Hot Pink, Size: 60"x70"
Soft and gorgeous. Not a fan of all the fluff that got all over everything when I finally managed to get all 250 of those stupid little plastic things cut off and got it off the hanger. Washing it will get rid of that but I had to vacuum the chair and carpet where I was sitting.

Soft, Cozy, and a Little Bit Extra — This Blanket Is Worth Every Dollar
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I picked this up because I have a bit of a blanket problem. You know… the kind where you already own several, but somehow none of them are the one when you’re trying to get fully cozy on the couch. I wanted something oversized, soft, and honestly a little cute to throw over the back of my chair when I’m not using it. This one checked all the boxes and then some. The first thing I noticed was how insanely soft it is. Not just “this is nice,” but the kind of plush where you keep absentmindedly rubbing it while watching TV. It has that smooth, velvety feel without being heavy, so you don’t end up overheating five minutes later and kicking it off in frustration. It’s warm, but still breathable enough to use year-round. Size-wise, it’s perfect. The 60x70 actually gives you enough blanket to fully wrap up without playing that constant game of “do I want my shoulders covered or my feet?” For once, both can be warm at the same time. Luxury. I also really love the look of it. The black is nice and rich, and the cursive Juicy Couture script in pink and white gives it just enough personality without feeling loud. It has that cozy-but-put-together vibe, like it belongs in a room that has its life together even if I don’t. Another big plus for me—no shedding. I’ve had plush blankets before that leave little fuzz everywhere like they’re slowly disintegrating. This one has held up really well so far, even after use, and still looks clean and put together. For around $28, this honestly feels like one of those “why is this so good for the price?” kind of finds. It doesn’t feel cheap, and it definitely doesn’t look cheap. If I had to find anything to mention, it’s lightweight, so if you’re someone who wants a super heavy, weighted-feeling blanket, this isn’t that. But for everyday use, lounging, or layering, I actually prefer it this way. Overall, this has become my go-to blanket without even trying. It’s soft, it’s cute, it does its job perfectly—and somehow made my couch feel like a better place to exist.

The best throw blanket we own.
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I cannot tell you how soft this is. It is so soft and nice and warm. I live in a part of the country that gets some really cold we get snow until like the beginning or middle of May and this was perfect. I curled up with it the other night and it was so warm and so comfy. Both of my children have special needs and my daughter really loves blankets so I got this blanket for her when I saw the chance to pick it up I was so happy and she loves it. She slept with it the other night and usually she'll rotate between blankets I have a lot of comforters and stuff I review a lot of comforters and blankets because that's what our family uses so I have a really good sense of you know buying blankets and getting blankets and knowing what works for us and what doesn't. This is really nice. If your children or family members or even you love warm soft luxurious blankets this is going to be the one for you. It is such a pretty color it's black but it's got like a different shades of pink and it's got white on it it is just so nice and the lettering is really crisp it's not like on there like it's not ironed on there like some of the places they iron stuff on or like you could tell that it's really cheap this isn't cheap it's like really really nicely done I just can't say how much I love it and the seams are double sown it looks like it's sown and then someone over so like it's really really not ever going to come apart it is just so nice

Super soft and cozy plush throw blanket by Juicy Couture. Super cozy! ✨️
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I love Juicy Couture products, and so I ordered this Juicy Couture Oversized Plush Throw Blanket. It measures 60" x 70", and has the Script Wave Black design. I have a couple of other Juicy Couture blankets that I absolutely love, and this one is no different. I love the look of this blanket, as it's chic and stylish; I like the black background color, with the logo words in cursive (and in different colors). The contrast of the logo words/design looks nice juxtaposed to the background. This blanket was presented very nicely, which would make for an excellent gift idea. This blanket feels super soft, and is great for various spaces. It's versatile nature makes it great for using on the couch, chairs, or on one's bed. This blanket has a decent thickness to it; I feel cozy and warm when wrapped up in this blanket. I'm about 5'4", so this blanket can wrap around me nicely. It did have some shedding at first; there were these tiny little fluffy dots that I initially saw while opening the blanket for the first time. However, they seem to have stopped after I washed the blanket. Also, this blanket does seem easy to care for; I just tossed it in my regular washer, and then dried it in my dryer. It still feels velvety soft and smooth. So, I'd say it's easy to keep clean, at least in my experience thus far. I really like this blanket, and it adds a touch of coziness and style to my living spaces. This blanket looks really nice draped over a couch, chair, or across a bed. I love how nice of quality this Juicy Couture blanket is, and am glad I ordered it.

Soft + Stunning!!!
Color: Jc Lace Heart White, Size: 60"x70", Color: Jc Lace Heart White, Size: 60"x70"
I was immediately drawn to this blanket as a fan of the brand and for its unique, vintage lace design. And it doesn't disappoint! It looks just like the product photos and is really high quality and well made. The presentation from the start is stunning. It comes on a wooden hanger and is secured with a bow. And the blanket itself is amazing! The fabric is super thick, plush, and heavy. And it's on the large side compared to some of my other throws, so it's extremely cozy and comfortable. The contrast of the black and white is beautifully striking too, and the details are so dainty and crisp. I haven't noticed any shedding and its washability seems promising, but I'll update if I run into any problems in the future. Overall, I'm obsessed! It's gorgeous, functional, and a great value! Highly recommend!
