The string of pearls from the South African desert
A trailing succulent from the arid regions of South Africa, Senecio Rowleyanus has turned its leaves into spherical beads to limit evaporation under the sun.
Each pearl bears a thin translucent window that lets light in; up high, the plant unrolls meters of strands studded with small fragrant white flowers.
"String of Pearls threads green beads onto strands of light."

Water Sparingly
Let it dry completely between waterings; excess bursts the pearls.

Styling Tip 03
Plenty of Light
Bright light keeps the pearls plump, round, and tight on the strand.
