Cascading Elegance with Exotic Character

Add fluid movement and refined texture to your plant collection with Senecio ‘String of Tears’, also known as Curio herreianus. Celebrated for its graceful trailing habit and sculptural beauty, this exceptional succulent creates an effortlessly elegant visual impact in any setting.

Slender cascading stems are lined with plump, teardrop-shaped leaves that fall like a living waterfall of green. Each leaf features subtle translucent “windows” that catch and filter light, giving the plant a luminous, almost gem-like appearance. Displayed in hanging baskets, elevated pots, or shelf styling, String of Tears transforms vertical space into a living design statement.
