BeautifulDesertPlant Senecio herreianus Strings of Tears

Bare root means the plant is shipped without its soil or pot to ensure it travels safely and arrives healthy. Upon arrival, you will need to pot it in a well-draining succulent mix as soon as possible.

This succulent prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its unique leaf shape and purple striping. While it can tolerate partial shade, too little light will cause the stems to stretch and lose their compact, tear-drop appearance.

Like most succulents, the String of Tears is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Check the soil moisture with your finger or a skewer before adding water, as overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.

Yes, with the right light conditions, it produces delicate, cinnamon-scented white flowers during the spring and summer months. It is a rewarding bonus for providing consistent, bright, indirect light.

Absolutely. It is considered an easy-care plant because it is highly drought-tolerant and doesn't require frequent attention. As long as you provide bright light and avoid overwatering, it will thrive.

While it is ideal for hanging baskets because of its trailing habit, you can grow it in a standard pot placed on a shelf or ledge. Just ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the roots.
