 String of Tears

• Scientific name: Senecio herreanus (also sometimes listed as Curio herreanus)
• Common names: String of Tears, String of Watermelons, String of Beads

It’s closely related to the String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) and the String of Bananas (Senecio radicans), all members of the Asteraceae (daisy) family.

🌿 Appearance

• Leaves: The leaves are small, plump, and teardrop-shaped — hence the name “String of Tears.”
• Each leaf has a translucent line (called an epidermal window) that helps the plant absorb more light for photosynthesis.
• Stems: Long, trailing vines that can grow several feet, making it a great hanging plant.
• Color: Usually green to bluish-green, sometimes with purple-tinged stems under bright light.

🌞 Light & Temperature

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but too much harsh sunlight can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (65–80°F / 18–27°C). Protect from frost.

💧 Watering

• Drought tolerant. Let the soil dry completely between waterings.
• Overwatering is the most common cause of death — the leaves will become mushy and translucent if too wet.
• Use the “soak and dry” method: water thoroughly, then let excess drain away.

🌸 Flowers

• Small white blooms with a cinnamon-like fragrance, appearing mostly in late winter or spring if the plant is healthy and gets enough light.

🪴 Soil & Potting

• Use a well-draining succulent/cactus mix.
• A pot with drainage holes is essential to prevent root rot.

🌿 Propagation

• Very easy to propagate from stem cuttings:
1. Take a 3–4 inch cutting.
2. Let it dry for a day to callous over.
3. Place in moist, well-draining soil or water until roots form.
