Product Description

The String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is the perfect plant for those looking to embrace plant parenting without overwhelming complexity. Its whimsical name perfectly describes its appearance—a delightful string of small, succulent green pearls that cascade gracefully down, resembling jewelry for your home. This easy-care succulent is perfect for beginners and anyone seeking a touch of unique charm in their living space.
