Variegated String of Pearls Senecio rollqwleyanus
Care Tips
Light: Indirect light, shade, or early morning sun. They are more sensitive to direct sunlight as the variegated parts lack the chlorophyll to process it. Direct sunlight would cause sunburn easily.
Water: Only when potting mix is dry to touch. Needs regular infrequent watering in summer and much less in winter
Soil: Well draining succulents potting mix
Temperature: The optimal temperature range is from 65F to 90F during the day. At night keep the temperature above 40F
Planting: String of Pearls does best in places where its strings are able to hang or form ground cover. Baskets are perfect for letting the impressive strings grow and trail. Garden walls and rockeries also allow this plant to spread and thrive.
Fertilizer: Use a general fertilizer twice a year to enhance new growth and the plant’s overall health. Over fertilizing causes malformed growth.
Blooming: The flowers are dainty and white, and form tightly compacted puffballs. Each bloom has a halo of deep red to golden yellow filaments.
Dormancy: Variegated String of Pearls don’t go into full dormancy, but growth slows during winter months.
