String of Pearls 2 in 1 Senecio rowleyanus

The String of Pearls 2 in 1 plant consists of two types of strands: Variegated String of Pearls and regular non-variegated String of Pearls. The proportion, size, and shape could vary. Variegated String of Pearls is a well loved wishlist item for all plant collectors. It's known for its pearl like leaves that are swirled in cream, green, and sometimes even pink and purple colors with the right combination of sun stress and water. The thin, string-like stems trail elegantly and can cascade several feet. Variegated String of Pearls is slower growing in comparison to its non-variegated counterpart, due to lacking some of the chlorophyll that completely green leaves possess.   Care Tips Light: Ideals are full to partial sunny locations or only bright locations directly behind a window.  The String of Pearls plant can spend the summer in the garden or on the balcony. There it must be slowly accustomed to the sun, which is no longer filtered through a window. Otherwise its leaves may burn. Water: Senecio rowleyanus is a succulent plant and can store water in its thick leaves. It does not have to be watered until the soil is nearly dry. Water sparingly if placed cool to temperature during winter. Soil: Not only a cacti mix is suitable, peat-free mixtures for indoor plants, herbs or vegetables can also be used.  Temperature: A cool winter location at temperatures between 10 to 15 °C (50 to 59 °F) is required to get Senecio rowleyanus to bloom. However, it can also be wintered at room temperature. Minimum temperature is 5 °C (41 °F). Potting: In the first year after purchase or repotting, Senecio rowleyanus does not require fertilization. Liquid fertilizer can be given every 4th to 8th week if the plant is actively growing. The growing season usually lasts from spring to autumn. Humidity: Any average household humidity level is fine for String-of-Pearls, but try to keep it at about 50% or higher.   Shipping & Handling The 2 Inch and 4 Inch String of Pearls 2 in 1 plants are shipped with the pot and soil The 6 Inch and 8 Inch String of Pearls 2 in 1 plants are shipped bare roots without the pot and soil: We commit to shipping bare roots, which requires more time and labor, and provide excellent quality and service to our customers - see Benefits of Shipping Bare Roots You will receive a very similar plant to the one shown in the photos; shape and color may vary Ship within USA & its outlying territories only Please visit Order Processing & Shipping info page for additional details   Care Instructions Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details. To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage. Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.   Weather Conditions When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can be damaged by the cold weather. If you live in an area that is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, please add a shipping warmer to your order or consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
