Senecio 'String of Tears' (Curio herreianus) – Cascading Beauty with a Touch of the Exotic

Elevate your indoor garden with the graceful charm of Senecio 'String of Tears', also known as Curio herreianus or "String of Watermelons." This trailing succulent is admired for its striking form, ease of care, and decorative versatility. Its plump, teardrop-shaped leaves are strung along delicate cascading stems, creating a flowing curtain of lush greenery—perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trailing planters.

Why It's a Must-Have:

  • Elegant Trailing Foliage: Teardrop-shaped, bead-like leaves resemble tiny watermelons with translucent leaf “windows” that catch the light
  • Textural Interest: Adds dimension and a soft, sculptural touch to any plant display with its rounded, tactile leaves
  • Color Highlights: Bright green leaves may develop subtle reddish or purple tinges under strong light
  • Low Maintenance: A resilient, forgiving plant ideal for beginners or low-care spaces
  • Drought Tolerant: Stores water in its succulent leaves, thriving with minimal watering
  • Versatile Styling: Complements modern, boho, or eclectic interiors; perfect for vertical displays or mixed succulent arrangements
  • Seasonal Blooms: Occasionally produces small, daisy-like white flowers in cooler months with a sweet, cinnamon-like scent

Care Guide:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid intense afternoon rays
  • Watering: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water deeply, but infrequently
  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix 
  • Temperature: Best in warm indoor environments (15–27°C). 
  • Fertilizer: Optional; a diluted succulent fertilizer once in spring and summer can encourage growth
  • Maintenance: Minimal—occasional trimming can maintain shape and encourage fullness

Bring flowing greenery and sculptural elegance into your space with Senecio 'String of Tears'—a fast-growing, eye-catching plant that turns any corner into a living design statement.

The first two photo serves a display purpose only. 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.
