String of Pearls/Senecio Rowleyanus

 -About String of Pearls/Senecio Rowleyanus-

Senecio rowleyanus is a succulent plant of Compositae Senecio, also known as "String of Pearls." It is mainly spherical, with leaves measuring about 0.5 cm in diameter. There is an apparent longitudinal line of transparency on the pea-sized leaf. When the water in the leaf is particularly full, the longitudinal line is more transparent. Elongated creeping stem growth, up to 1m, can be planted in the hanging basin to make the stems and leaves hang.

-How to care for String of Pearls/Senecio Rowleyanus-

Sun/Location: Light with a diffused spectrum and semi-shade are most beneficial. If exposed to sunlight, the plant may be burned. However, it also grows poorly when the light is too low. A significant obstacle to its growth occurs in summer when it is overexposed direct light, so it needs to be shaded in time. In spring and autumn, when temperatures are lower, it should be exposed to direct sunlight to facilitate its photosynthesis and accumulation of nutrients.

Soil/Pot: As a short-rooted plant, it needs good drainage and permeability soil. Typically, it uses humus or peat soil, fertile field soil, coarse sand in equal amounts, and some bone meal to increase the strength of its roots. The choice of pot should be a manageable size. The pot's shape is irrelevant, but the type is best to choose clay pots.

Watering: Watering by flooding method, that is, absorbing water from the bottom of the pot. Water every 3-4 days during the growing season and 4-6 days when the temperature is too high or too low.

DIY Tips: Use a glass cutter to pull out a hole in the bottle, get a hoop or tie a knot. Then stick the succulent through the cut and hang it up.

In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Unfortunately, shipping is not available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. The transit time is too long, and the plants would be dead on arrival.

Due to numerous factors beyond our control, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And, we can no longer guarantee orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico that get delayed by more than 4 in-transit days. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
