Senecio - String of Lanterns 130mm

Senecio ‘String of Lanterns’ is a rare and enchanting trailing succulent named for its unique, lantern-like leaves. Each plump, oval-shaped bead has a slight ribbing and a soft, translucent quality that resembles tiny paper lanterns hanging along delicate vines. This cascading beauty is ideal for hanging baskets, shelf displays, or sunny windowsills where it can gracefully trail and thrive.

Main Features:

• Distinctive lantern-shaped foliage in soft green tones
• Gracefully trailing stems that can reach over 60 cm in length
• Perfect for hanging planters or high shelves
• Drought-tolerant and easy to propagate
• May produce small white or pale yellow flowers under the right conditions

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon exposure.
• Water: Let the soil dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
• Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix. Good drainage is essential.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor environments. Protect from frost and cold drafts.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cut ends to callous before planting.
