Curio Rowleyanus F. Variegata

Family

Origin

Description

Variegated String of Pearls is a beautiful succulent with its long and slender green stems upon which sit a cascade of green and white pearl-shaped leaves. .

Its trailing stems can reach 2-3 ft (60-90 cm). If long stems become straggly, you can cut them off. Poke healthy stem tip cuttings back into the soil to create a full, lush plant

Flowers are brush like, white to nearly white and bloom is summers. Despite its delicate appearance, this unusual succulent house plant is a vigorous grower, quickly creeping across the surface of the pot, then cascading down the side

Environment

Bright light with direct sunlight & well-drained sandy soil. Plant is drought tolerant.

Water thoroughly, then allow to dry out slightly between watering. This plant will not tolerate soggy soil. Cut back on water in winter, watering just enough to prevent the soil from drying out. Feed once a month spring through fall with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping

Danger

All parts of plant are poisonous if ingested
