    •   String of Tears Senecio Herreianus is a charming trailing succulent native to the semi-arid regions of southern Africa, where it scrambles across rocky ground in dappled shade. A member of the Asteraceae family, it has become a beloved hanging plant for collectors and casual growers alike who want something a little different from the typical shelf succulent.

        What makes String of Tears Senecio Herreianus instantly recognizable are its small, teardrop-shaped leaves, each one plump with stored water and marked with a translucent stripe that runs lengthwise like a tiny window. The bead-like foliage lines long, slender trailing stems that cascade beautifully from a hanging basket or high shelf. The overall effect is delicate and architectural at the same time, which is a big part of why this plant has become a rare collector find.

        String of Tears Senecio Herreianus is primarily grown for its stunning foliage rather than its blooms, though it can produce small, brush-like white flowers when it receives a night temperature drop during cooler months. The blossoms are modest and fleeting, but the trailing curtain of glossy teardrops more than earns its place as a standout display plant year-round.

        String of Tears Senecio Herreianus is a wonderful candidate for a hanging hook near a bright window, and it can move outside for summer in a sheltered spot, just be sure to cover it from heavy rain and bring it back inside before cold nights arrive. It is sensitive to direct air from AC units or heaters, so position it away from vents for best results. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks for even, balanced growth, and keep it on a high shelf well out of reach of pets and small children, as the sap can cause skin and paw irritation and the plant should not be nibbled or eaten by cats, dogs, or toddlers.

    •   String of Tears Senecio Herreianus thrives in bright indirect light and can even grow under office LEDs, but scorches in harsh south-facing windows.

        Water String of Tears Senecio Herreianus only when the soil is completely dry, roughly every 10-14 days in summer and less in winter.

        String of Tears Senecio Herreianus performs best in a well-draining succulent and cactus soil mix that never holds excess moisture.

        String of Tears Senecio Herreianus prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and should be protected from frost below 30°F (-1°C).

        String of Tears Senecio Herreianus is a moderate grower that benefits from a light balanced fertilizer once a month during the active spring and summer season.

        String of Tears Senecio Herreianus is rated for USDA hardiness zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25-30°F (-3 to -1°C) but not sustained frost. Gardeners growing String of Tears Senecio Herreianus outdoors year-round will find the most success across California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. The milder coastal areas of Oregon and Washington, along with parts of New Mexico and the Gulf Coast region, also fall within a workable range for this drought-tolerant trailing plant.

    • Q: How often should I water String of Tears Senecio Herreianus?
      A: Water String of Tears Senecio Herreianus only when the soil is fully dry, typically every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter. It shows when thirsty through slight wilting, which is your reliable cue to water.

      Q: Is String of Tears Senecio Herreianus safe around pets and children?
      A: String of Tears Senecio Herreianus should be kept well out of reach of pets, as cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and the sap can cause skin and paw irritation. It is best placed away from small children and toddlers for the same reason.

      Q: What light does String of Tears Senecio Herreianus need indoors?
      A: String of Tears Senecio Herreianus does best in bright indirect light and can adapt to growing under office LEDs. Avoid direct south-facing window sun, which can scorch the delicate teardrop leaves.

      Q: How do I propagate String of Tears Senecio Herreianus?
      A: String of Tears Senecio Herreianus propagates easily from stem cuttings. Allow the cut end to callous for a day or two, then place it in dry succulent and cactus soil and water sparingly until roots establish.

      Q: Can String of Tears Senecio Herreianus go outside in summer?
      A: Yes, String of Tears Senecio Herreianus can move outdoors for summer in a sheltered spot with bright indirect light. Always cover it from heavy rain and bring it back indoors before temperatures drop toward frost.

      Q: How long can String of Tears Senecio Herreianus survive without watering?
      A: Thanks to its water-storing leaves, String of Tears Senecio Herreianus can comfortably survive a 10-day trip or absence without watering. Its drought-tolerant nature makes it one of the most forgiving trailing succulents for busy plant owners.

      🌵 For Succulents
      When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
      Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
      Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
