Plant Care Notes

Senecio loves basking in bright, indirect sunlight, so display it near an east- or north-facing window. Just don’t go overboard—direct sunlight is a one-way ticket to a nasty sunburn. String of pearls prefer to stay cozy and warm, so keep them in a spot where they won’t freeze!

For soil, think well-draining. A cactus or succulent mix with at least 30% perlite or pumice (your new best friends) will do the trick. Wondering when to water? Keep an eye on those pearls. If they start looking deflated and shriveled, and the soil is completely dry, they’re probably thirsty. Otherwise, they’re pretty low-key and will happily do their thing while you do yours. And put those misters away! These plants prefer not to get their pearls all soggy.

 If you’re feeling ambitious, propagation is a breeze. Snip off a vine, lay it on top of the soil, and let those roots do their thing. But be gentle! The vines and roots are a little on the delicate side, so handle with care.
