Senecio String of Pearls
String of pearls plants are unique vining succulents that are easily recognizable by their almost spherical, tiny pea-shaped leaves. The leaves grow on trailing stems that gracefully spill over the sides of planters and hanging baskets. You can use these stems to propagate the plant, which is a very robust and quick grower but does not live long without propagation.
Though normally cultivated year-round as a hanging plant, in its natural habitat (the deserts of East Africa) the string of pearls is terrestrial and forms a ground cover. In addition to its peculiar sphere-like leaves, the string of pearls produces white flowers in spring with a pleasant scent reminiscent of cinnamon (though it rarely flowers indoors).
