Variegated String of Pearl Succulent, VSOP, Senecio Rowleyanus Variegata
Variegated String of Pearls (Curio rowleyanus f. variegatus) – A Stunning Succulent for Home and Garden
Elevate your succulent collection with the Variegated String of Pearls, a unique and captivating variety of the beloved String of Pearls plant. This rare gem features bead-like leaves marbled in creamy white, green, and occasionally tinged with soft pink, making it a standout addition to any space. Its delicate, string-like stems can cascade several feet, creating a striking visual display in hanging planters or cascading arrangements.
Features and Care Tips:
- Native Beauty: Originating from South Africa, this succulent thrives as ground cover under rocky outcrops in its natural habitat.
- Watering Needs: Prefers slightly more water than most succulents. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and look for slight wrinkling in the leaves as a signal for hydration.
- Aromatic Blooms: As a member of the Aster family, it produces charming, pom pom-like flowers with a delightful cinnamon fragrance.
- Ideal Display: Perfect for hanging pots near sunny windows, providing a graceful trailing effect indoors. In frost-free climates (zones 10+), it thrives outdoors in pots or as ground cover.
Pro Tip: For a lush and full display, regularly prune and replant the longest strands. This encourages new growth and creates a more abundant cascade.
Add a touch of elegance and rarity to your collection with the Variegated String of Pearls. Perfect for succulent enthusiasts and interior decor lovers alike!
