Senecio Rowleyanus, commonly known as String-of-Pearls or String-of-Beads, is a creeping, perennial, succulent vine native to southwest Africa. This bizarre succulent is easily recognizable by its leaves, which grow into spherical, marble-like little balls and can bloom white flowers with a pleasant scent reminiscent of cinnamon. In its natural environment, its stems trail on the ground, rooting where they touch and forming dense mats. These stems can also be used to propagate the plant, which is a very robust grower. Though hanging baskets are recommended, you can also grow the string of pearls in a dish, allowing it to form a terrestrial mat the way it does in the wild. The foliage of this plant is slightly toxic and should never be consumed, so make sure it’s not easily accessible to children or pets.
