The String of Pearls, also known as Senecio rowleyanus, is a unique trailing succulent from the daisy family, admired for its distinctive cascading growth habit. This plant is also commonly called string of beads, string of peas, and rosary vine. 

The String of Pearls gets its name from its distinctive, long, trailing stems that are adorned with small, spherical leaves that resemble pearls. Each of these bead-like leaves features a unique translucent “window”, a thin, clear strip that allows light to pass into the leaf for photosynthesis. These little green pearls hang delicately from the stems, creating a beautiful cascading effect. In its natural habitat, the stems trail along the ground, rooting where they come into contact, and form dense mats.

Native to South Africa, this charming string of pearls houseplant features trailing stems with pea-like or tiny melon-shaped leaves spilling over planters and hanging baskets, much like its closely related plant string of rubiesGo to othonna capensis ruby necklace.

Your String of Pearls typically grows up to 2 feet long rather than tall, as it is a naturally trailing and hanging plant. 

The moderately fast-growing nature of this string of pearls plant makes it a great choice for a variety of landscapes.

The flowers of the string of pearls bloom during the spring and summer months, with white flowers along the stalk and bright yellow anthers. However, it's important to note that String of Pearls plants are primarily grown for their unique bead-like foliage rather than their flowers. Nonetheless, if your string of pearl plants does flower, it's definitely a treat to behold!

This string of pearls also comes in another lovely variety, a variegated string of pearlsGo to senecio rowleyanus string of pearls variegated, with its white-creamy foliage.

When and How to Water Your String of Pearls Plant

String of Pearls is a drought-tolerant succulent that thrives with minimal watering. To keep your plant healthy, allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and only water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The spring of pearls plant prefers watering every 10-14 days in the growing season, and every 3-4 weeks in the dormant season.

During the spring and summer growing season, water every 10–14 days on average. As the plant actively grows, it may require slightly more frequent watering, especially in warm or bright environments. 

In fall and winter, reduce watering to about once every 3–4 weeks. Since the plant enters a semi-dormant phase, it uses less moisture and is more vulnerable to overwatering. 

Too much water can quickly kill a String of Pearls plant, so it’s always safer to underwater than to overwater. Using terracotta or clay pots helps absorb excess moisture and keeps roots healthier by preventing soggy soil conditions.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your String of Pearls 

When grown indoors, place it near a window that receives bright indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. South-facing or west-facing windows are usually the best choices. You can also use artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light if natural sunlight is limited.

When growing outdoors, your low-maintenance string of pearls prefers full sun to partial shade to thrive. Four hours of direct morning or evening sun can also be beneficial for your Senecio rowleyanus, but be careful not to expose it to intense, direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves of your String of Pearls succulent.

Keep an eye on your string of pearl succulents for any signs of light stress. If the leaves start to turn yellow or brown, it could be a sign that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and spaced out, it might indicate that your pearl succulent is not receiving enough light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil for your Senecio rowleyanus, and NPK fertilizer (5-10-5) once a year in spring for healthy growth. Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix or cactus soil mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae, perfect for promoting shallow root systems and happy String of Pearls succulents.

Apply the NPK fertilizer once a year in the spring of about 5-10-5 ratio, to provide a gentle boost of nutrients. However, during the cooler months or when your Senecio rowleyanus is in a dormant phase, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. 

If you notice any signs of fertilizer burn, such as leaf discoloration or wilting, flush the soil with water to remove any excess nutrients. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12. 

When it comes to humidity, the String of Pearls is adapted to low-humidity environments.

It can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, but it's important to avoid excessive moisture around the plant.

Ensure good air circulation and avoid placing your String of Pearls in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens.

Indoor Growing String of Pearls Plant Requirements

If you are growing your String of Pearls indoors, ideally, keep your plant in a warm environment. In general, it prefers average room temperatures between 60°F and 85°F, which helps it stay healthy and active. Its trailing growth habit makes it an excellent houseplant for hanging baskets, shelves, and high planters, where its cascading stems can be fully displayed and appreciated.

According to the ASPCA, String of Pearls is mildly toxic to cats, dogs, and horses if ingested in large amounts. So, if you have furry friends at home, it's best to keep your string of pearls out of their reach or opt for pet-friendly alternatives.

Pure, Gentle, and Perfect for Sensitive Skin — Great for Cleaning Baby Hands & Mouth
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 4)
Summary: These WaterWipes Sensitive+ wipes are incredibly gentle and ideal for babies with delicate or sensitive skin. With only two ingredients, they clean well without irritation and are perfect for everyday use on hands, face, and small messes. Details: I’ve been using WaterWipes for a while, and these Sensitive+ wipes continue to impress me. They’re made with 99.9% purified water and just a drop of fruit extract, making them one of the purest wipes available. I mainly used them for cleaning my baby’s hands and mouth, and they worked wonderfully without any redness, dryness, or irritation. These upgraded wipes are now thicker, softer, and 2x stronger, which makes a noticeable difference. They don’t tear easily, even when dealing with sticky or messy situations. The texture is soft enough for newborn skin, yet durable enough to handle everyday cleaning. Because they have a neutral pH, they help maintain the skin’s natural barrier — a huge plus for babies prone to sensitivity or eczema. They’re dermatologist-tested, accepted by the National Eczema Association, and free of fragrance, alcohol, and harsh chemicals. It’s reassuring to know that what you’re using is safe and gentle. Another advantage is that they’re plant-based and plastic‑free wipes, making them a better option for eco-conscious parents. They also come in convenient packs that are easy to carry in diaper bags, keep in the car, or store around the house. If I had to mention an improvement, the only thing would be adding a resealable hard-top lid to help keep wipes from drying out — though the soft packs still work fine if sealed properly. What I liked • Extremely gentle — perfect for hands, mouth, and face • Only two ingredients: purified water + fruit extract • Thicker and stronger than older versions • Hypoallergenic, fragrance‑free, alcohol‑free • Suitable for eczema‑prone and sensitive skin • Plant-based, dermatologically approved What could be better • A hard plastic lid would help prevent drying out

Clean ingredients
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 9)
Love those wipes. I’ve been using them for 2 months old, they’re strong they don’t shed, they cause any skin irritation. The only negative thing is sometimes the wipes stick together. But overall it’s worth the money.

Nothing else will do for Baby Boy
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 12)
When I first delivered my son the hospital supplied us with diapers and . When he was very little the diapers were perfectly fine even though I had my heart set on pampers and pre-bought a bunch of preemies, newborns and size 1's. Long story short - after a couple of weeks the Huggies started to leak and we we had to switch brands.I was super glad we had stocked up on Pampers diapers, which haven't failed us thus far. HOWEVER, I do have to say that the Pampers wipes were not so great. The hospital gave us some wipes to take home with us and I bought about a million before little man was born. After just a few days out of the hospital, we noticed that his little bum was a bit red and irritated and I assumed he was somehow getting a diaper rash - which was perplexing because my fiance and are I always on top of his hygiene. We took him to the pediatrician who told us NO to Pampers, even the sensitive kind, and that she has had babies come into her office with chemical burns from wipes such as Pampers and Huggies. Her suggestion (or kind of demand) was that we buy giant cotton balls and use warm water. WELL, if you're a new parent or a parent in general and living in the real world - this is not as easy-peasy as it sounds. I was willing to do it because, well, doctors orders and I don't want my son to be harmed in any way. My fiance was less than convinced about this process but I was not about to let him use Pampers or Huggies or basically any other kind of chemical wipe. But I certainly I wasn't going to let him get out of diaper duty because it was too much of an inconvenience to use cotton balls and water. I did some investigating and was a little unsettled about the hidden ingredients in most baby wipe brands.According to the Environmental Working Group's analysis of ingredients commonly found in products such as cosmetics and baby wipes - up to 95% of baby wipes, specifically, may be contaminated with impurities that are, mind-boggingly- not regulated by the government. While the ingredients in the wipes aren't necessary toxic in themselves - chemical carcinogens, namely nitrosamines, can potentially form during the manufacturing process, during interaction with what the item is packaged in and after the product has been opened and stored. Essentially, some of the ingredients in baby wipes become contaminated for the aforementioned reasons and thus become entirely different ingredients that technically are not required to be disclosed to customers. I'm not a chemist and I know plenty of people who use and swear by Pampers and Huggie's wipes. Their babies and children are seemingly fine. It's doubtful every pack of baby wipes is going to cause cancer or contact dermatitis. And while not an alarmist - nonetheless, I was concerned about the information I came across. Also, I did not want to defy our son's doctor because she's totally awesome and an itty itty bit intimdiating. So that was it for me. I love you Pampers Swaddlers but your wipes gotta go and you can take most of your competitor brands with you. Except WaterWipes. When I found out these wipes were made of mostly water with a hint of grapefruit extract - I felt like this could be an excellent compromise between warm water and cotton balls and easily disposable and safe wipes IF WaperWipes lived up to its claims. I read up on the Amazon reviews and the majority of the reviews were positive and encouraging; thus I decided it was definitely worth trying. I must say that WaterWipes has lived up to its promises. Some of the reviewers claim these wipes are too dry. I kind of find this to be an issue with wipes in general. I've never used a brand of wipes that were super moist and stayed that way. It's just par for the course, IMO. I love these wipes. They are gentle enough to use anywhere. I even sometimes use them to remove my makeup in a pinch, even scrub off mascara. At first I thought the tiny bit of grapefruit extract might burn my eyes, but it did not. Also, there is no heavy fragrance to WaterWipes, which I can't stand in most baby products. The wipes don't dry out while being stored. They don't turn yellow or start to look burnt in the wipe warmers like some of the other brands I've used or seen used. I find it silly that some people complain about the price because it only has water and grapefruit extract. I'd rather pay more for simplicity that pay less for a bunch of chemicals that gave my baby red skin that was on the verge of becoming raw had our doctor not stopped us in time. I don't find the price to be outrageous - but even if it were - I'd probably still buy them for the sake of convenience. And, as I said, I like having them around for myself. I have a wipe warmer in every room and if I need to wash little man's face from spit up or his hands from drool or my hands from baby formula - no need to dash to the sink every time. I use these wipes instead, they are very multi-purposed. The one little complaint I have is that they don't seem to come apart easily. I'm NEVER ever able to pull them out individually from the wipe warmers so we just lift the whole thing up and grab what we need. My fiance, my friend who is frequently here and mostly anyone else is able to take one wipe at a time this way. But I can't help but manage to grab AT LEAST four every time, but that problem seems to be on my end. Also, before we got the WaterWipes, we seemed to have a problem with ANY brand of wipes easily dispensing from the warmer or their packages. This annoys me about wipes in general but nothing is really perfect. These wipes, however, come pretty darn close. I won't buy anything else and I won't recommend anything else.

Great for Sensitive Skin… But Your Wallet Might Feel It
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 12)
These wipes are one of those “you see the difference immediately” kind of products. They’re super gentle, no strong smell, and they feel clean; like actually clean, not coated in random stuff. I’ve used them on sensitive skin and had zero issues, which already puts them ahead of a lot of other wipes. The only thing...maybe two…are... they’re not cheap. So every time I grab one, there’s a tiny voice in my head like “was that wipe necessary?”. Secondly they are not very easy to pull out of the pack, so you end up pulling out more than you need. But honestly, for how gentle and effective they are, I get why people swear by them. If sensitive skin is a concern, these are definitely worth it.
