Often in the wild, the plant will avoid direct sunlight by growing in the shade underneath other plants and rocks.
If you would like to grow these outdoors, the plant will need filtered light or bright shade. Outdoors: Growing string of pearls outdoors can only be done in growing zones 9 - 11, unless you bring the plant inside before the first frost. And the plant will not need to be watered near as often. During darker, cooler months, the plant may need to be moved in order to get more sunlight. The soil needs to be well drained, with drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Ensure the plant gets strong natural sunlight, but not touching the window. Indoors: Growing string of pearls indoors is very common and easy to do. The plant was named after British botanist Gordon Douglas Rowley. Also known as “string of beads plant” or “rosary plant”. Like most succulents, these plants require very little care or maintenance. Once established, you can easily propagate new plants, or make the original plant look fuller by placing cuttings into the soil and allowing them to take root. If growing outdoors, you may use as a groundcover or in a planter, where it grows underneath larger plants. We recommend growing this in hanging planters, allowing the tendrils to cascade down from the edge. People often say the flowers smell like cinnamon. In winter months, the plant has tiny white flowers with bright colored stamens. The plant has green bubbles as leaves growing on skinny stems. As the stems touch the ground, it starts rooting where they touch and forming a dense mat or groundcover. The creeping plant grows along the ground, with the stems trailing on the ground. String of Pearls, or Senecio rowleyanus, is a succulent vine belonging to the family Asteraceae.
