Add a touch of whimsy and vibrant color to your plant collection with the delightful Senecio Herreianus, commonly known as "String of Watermelons."This unique succulent, native to South Africa, is a favorite among enthusiasts for its unusual, watermelon-shaped leaves and cascading growth habit.

Features:

  • Unique Foliage: The 'String of Watermelons' features plump, oblong leaves with a distinctive green and purple striped pattern, resembling miniature watermelons. These leaves grow along slender, trailing stems, creating a mesmerizing waterfall of greenery.

  • Cascading Growth Habit: Its naturally trailing growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or elevated planters, allowing its delicate foliage to spill over the edges.  

  • Easy-Care Succulent: Like other Senecio varieties, the String of Watermelons is relatively low-maintenance, requiring well-draining soil, bright indirect light, and infrequent watering.

  • Delicate Blooms: In the fall, you may be rewarded with small, white, cinnamon-scented flowers that add a touch of charm to this already captivating plant.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth and to maintain the vibrant colors of the leaves.

  • Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti.

  • Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
