Senecio rowleyanus (pearl sedge)

Senecio rowleyanus , also known by the common name "String of Pearls" , is a spectacular succulent plant in the Asteraceae family, grown for its unique appearance: long, flowing stems covered with spherical leaves that resemble a string of green beads. It is ideal for hanging pots, high shelves or succulent arrangements, making it a popular choice for modern decors.

🔹 Botanical characteristics:

• Habit: Fast-growing succulent plant with long, thin, creeping/dragging stems that can reach over 1 meter in length. It grows spectacularly in hanging pots.

• Leaves: Small, globular (pearl-shaped) , light green , with a fine translucent stripe ("window") that allows light to penetrate the interior of the leaf - a specific adaptation of succulents.

• Flowers: Small, creamy white , sometimes appearing at maturity, having a slightly sweet fragrance, with hints of cinnamon or vanilla. The flowers are tubular and appear in small clusters.

🔹 Recommended growing conditions:

• Light: Preference for bright indirect light . It can tolerate mild morning sun, but should be protected from direct, strong midday rays, which can burn the leaves.

• Watering: Reduced. Water only when the substrate is completely dry , as the roots and leaves store water. Excess water is dangerous and can lead to root and stem rot.

• Soil: Very well drained – ideally a mix for succulents and cacti (with sand, perlite or fine gravel).

• Temperature: It grows well in warm and bright environments. It does not tolerate low temperatures and must be protected from frost.

• Humidity: Easily adapts to dry indoor air. Does not need high humidity.

• Fertilization: Once a month in the warm season (spring-summer), with a diluted fertilizer for succulents.
