  •   String of Fishhooks is a trailing succulent in the Senecio genus, native to the dry, rocky regions of South Africa. It has adapted beautifully to indoor life, thriving in the same bright, low-humidity conditions it evolved in. This easy care succulent has earned a loyal following among collectors and beginners alike.

      The leaves of String of Fishhooks are the real showstopper: slender, curved, and blue-green in color, shaped uncannily like tiny fishhooks along each cascading vine. The waxy, cylindrical foliage stores water efficiently, giving this hanging succulent its impressive drought tolerance. Stems trail freely and can reach impressive lengths, making it one of the most visually striking indoor hanging plants available.

      String of Fishhooks can produce small, delicate flowers, though blooms are most reliably triggered by a drop in nighttime temperatures. Notable for its resilience, it shows clearly when it needs water by gently wilting, so you always know when to reach for the watering can. Its trailing habit and blue-green foliage alone make it a standout, flower or not.

      String of Fishhooks is tailor-made for hanging baskets and high shelves, where its vines can spill freely and look their most dramatic. It can move outside for summer but needs cover from rain and should come back in before autumn turns cold. Keep it on a high shelf away from cats, dogs, and small children, as the sap can cause skin and paw irritation and the plant should not be nibbled or eaten. It handles dry heated air well, but position it away from direct AC or heater vents, and rotate the pot regularly for full, even growth on all sides.

  •   String of Fishhooks thrives in bright indirect light or partial sun, away from intense south-facing windows that can scorch its foliage.

      Water String of Fishhooks every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

      String of Fishhooks does best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with extra perlite for improved drainage.

      String of Fishhooks prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and should be kept above 50°F (10°C), as it cannot tolerate frost.

      String of Fishhooks is a moderate to fast trailer that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied once a month during the active growing season.

      String of Fishhooks is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating minimum temperatures down to around 25-30°F (-4 to -1°C) only briefly and with protection. Outdoors year-round growing suits warm states like California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. Parts of Oregon and coastal areas of North Carolina and Virginia that fall within these zones can also support String of Fishhooks outside during milder months.
  • Q: How often should I water String of Fishhooks?
    A: Water String of Fishhooks every 10-14 days in warmer months and cut back to every 3-4 weeks in winter. Always let the soil dry fully before watering again.

    Q: Is String of Fishhooks safe for pets and children?
    A: String of Fishhooks should be kept out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children, as the sap can cause skin and paw irritation and the plant should not be eaten. A high shelf or hanging hook works perfectly for keeping it safely displayed.

    Q: How much light does String of Fishhooks need?
    A: String of Fishhooks grows best in bright indirect light or partial sun and can even adapt to office LED lighting. Avoid direct south-facing sun exposure, which can scorch the leaves.

    Q: How do I propagate String of Fishhooks?
    A: Propagating String of Fishhooks is easy: snip a healthy stem a few inches long, let the cut end callous for a day or two, then lay it on or press it lightly into moist succulent soil. Roots typically develop within a few weeks.

    Q: How fast does String of Fishhooks grow?
    A: String of Fishhooks is a moderate to fast grower under good light and during warm months. Monthly fertilizing during the growing season helps it push out long, trailing stems quickly.

    Q: Can I put my String of Fishhooks outside in summer?
    A: Yes, String of Fishhooks loves a warm outdoor spot in summer, but choose a sheltered location with bright indirect light and cover it from heavy rain. Bring it back inside before nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).

    🌵 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.
