Variant

String of Pearls Variegata, known scientifically as Senecio rowleyanus variegata, is a stunning variegated version of the classic String of Pearls plant. This eye-catching succulent features the characteristic pea-shaped leaves of its non-variegated counterpart, but with added splashes of white and sometimes pink, which contrast strikingly against the green. The variegation can enhance the beauty of the plant, making it a highly decorative option for indoor gardeners. Like the original, its tendrils drape gracefully, making it ideal for hanging baskets where its colourful strings can cascade beautifully.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Pro tips

String of Pearls Variegata can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water; if possible, use rainwater or distilled water for watering. Be gentle when handling as the pearls are delicate and can detach easily. To encourage fullness on top of the pot, lay the some trailing stems on the soil so that they are touching the soil and they will grow roots (as long as they are getting bright light directly on top of the soil). This variety will need slightly brighter light, compared to the original String of Pearls, in order to support the variegation.

Care Guide

How to take care of String of Pearls Variegata

Sun: Direct & Indirect

String of Pearls Variegata enjoys some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.

Light: Bright

String of Pearls Variegata will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When fully dry

String of Pearls Variegata likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. This can take up to 4 weeks in an average home environment but it will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. For them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist String of Pearls Variegata or put them in an enclosed terrarium.

Pet Caution

String of Pearls Variegata is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the String of Pearls Variegata, a captivating and visually stunning variation of the classic Senecio rowleyanus. This enchanting succulent is celebrated not only for its unique, bead-like leaves but also for the striking variegation that adds a splash of artistic flair. Symbolizing continuity, adaptability, and the beauty of diversity, this plant makes a delightful addition to any indoor garden.

The String of Pearls Variegata features the same iconic spherical leaves as its non-variegated counterpart, but with a twist. Each pearl-like leaf is adorned with creamy white and green stripes or sections, giving the plant an even more eye-catching appearance. The variegated pearls drape gracefully from their stems, creating a stunning cascade that can enliven any space with its playful and ethereal charm.

Caring for the String of Pearls Variegata involves providing it with bright, indirect light to encourage the vibrancy of its variegated leaves. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can cause the delicate leaves to scorch, potentially damaging their unique colouring. This plant thrives in well-draining soil, typical of succulents, and requires watering only when the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering is the most common issue encountered with this succulent, so ensuring proper drainage and a dry-out period between waterings is crucial.

The String of Pearls Variegata is not merely an ornamental plant; it is also a symbol of resilience and the creative adaptations of nature. Its ability to store water in its leaves and thrive on minimal care makes it a testament to the efficiency and resourcefulness of succulents. The plant’s variegation can vary from one specimen to another, reminding us of the beauty and value found in diversity.
