String of pearls.
String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus, sometimes sold as Curio rowleyanus) is a sought-after hanging succulent house plant. Its trailing stems have pea-like leaves that look like beads – hence its common name. In spring, the plant may produce small white, cinnamon-scented flowers.
In the wild, in west Africa, string of pearls sprawls over gravelly, rocky terrain. In the home, it looks lovely hanging from a shelf or planter – it's fast growing and the tendrils can reach 1m long. It's a good choice for beginner or lazy indoor gardeners – the 'beads' store water, so the plant can cope with a bit of neglect and only needs watering every couple of weeks.
All parts of the plant are mildly toxic if ingested, so keep away from children and pets.
