Variegated String of Pearls

Variegated String of Pearls, also known by its scientific name Senecio rowleyanus 'Variegatus,' is a stunning succulent plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is a unique variation of the popular String of Pearls plant and is highly sought after by succulent enthusiasts for its striking variegated foliage. The Variegated String of Pearls features the same trailing growth habit as its parent plant. Its slender, trailing stems are adorned with small, spherical leaves that resemble a string of pearls. This variegation adds a touch of elegance and visual interest to the plant, making it a standout specimen in any collection or as a statement piece in a hanging basket or container. The delicate, trailing stems can grow quite long, allowing them to cascade over the edges of containers or hang gracefully from shelves or hooks. Like its non-variegated counterpart, the Variegated String of Pearls is a drought-tolerant succulent that prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in well-draining soil and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to strike a balance and provide just enough water to keep the plant healthy. The Variegated String of Pearls is a relatively low-maintenance plant that can be grown indoors or outdoors, depending on the climate. It is ideal for succulent gardens, terrariums, and hanging baskets, where its trailing stems can drape and create a cascading effect.
