Curio rowleyanus

Curio rowleyanus, widely known as string of pearls, is a trailing succulent with thin stems lined by small spherical leaves. Each bead stores water, giving the plant its rounded texture and making the strands instantly recognisable in hanging pots and raised displays.

The stems trail from the pot or creep across the surface, rooting where nodes touch a suitable substrate. Indoors, Curio rowleyanus develops steadily when the crown receives strong light, the root zone dries cleanly between watering, and excess water leaves the planter quickly.

Curio rowleyanus plant highlights

  • Classic string-of-pearls succulent with round, pea-like leaves
  • Trailing stems that can hang from pots or root along the substrate surface
  • Succulent foliage with a narrow translucent line on each bead
  • Small white flowerheads may appear on mature plants under bright, settled conditions
  • Naturally suited to hanging planters, bright shelves, and shallow succulent bowls

Curio rowleyanus bead form and trailing habit

Curio rowleyanus is native to South Africa’s Cape region and is recorded from dry habitats where trailing stems can move along the ground and root at contact points. Its spherical leaves reduce exposed surface area while storing moisture. Indoors, healthy growth depends on strong crown light, careful watering and a breathable substrate.

The round leaves have a small pointed tip and a narrow translucent stripe. For container culture, the crown is the key area to monitor because crowded stems and damp substrate can hold moisture around new growth. A bright, open top surface and light grooming help maintain dense growth from the centre.

Curio rowleyanus care essentials

  • Light: Provide very bright indirect light with some gentle direct sun. East, west, or a bright south-facing position set back from hot glass can suit it well.
  • Watering: Water deeply after the substrate has dried through. Pearls that feel slightly less firm can indicate thirst; consistently soft pearls suggest root or moisture stress.
  • Substrate: Plant in a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix amended with pumice, lava rock, grit, or coarse sand. The fine roots depend on oxygen as well as moisture.
  • Drainage: Always use a pot with drainage holes. Hanging pots can dry unevenly, so check the crown and lower substrate before watering.
  • Temperature: Keep Curio rowleyanus warm during active growth, around 18–27 °C. A cooler winter position above 10 °C with drier conditions can support seasonal rest.
  • Humidity: Normal room air suits this succulent. Light, drainage and crown airflow matter more than raising humidity.
  • Feeding: Feed sparingly in spring and summer with diluted succulent fertiliser. Excess nutrients can push soft, stretched growth.
  • Pruning: Trim overly long strands to keep the pot balanced. Fresh cuttings can be used to fill the crown or start a new pot.
  • Propagation: Set stem cuttings onto barely moist gritty substrate and pin the nodes against the surface until roots form.
  • Repotting: Renew the mix once roots fill the container or the substrate breaks down. Handle the strands gently because the beads detach easily.

Curio rowleyanus issue guide

  • Crown rot: Check for damp, compacted substrate around the top of the pot. Increase light, improve airflow, and remove any soft stems quickly.
  • Shrivelled pearls: Check whether the pot is dry and whether roots are active. A full soak helps when roots are healthy; damaged roots need fresh cuttings and drier care.
  • Stretched stems: Raise the light level and make sure brightness reaches the crown along with the trailing growth.
  • Falling beads: Review watering rhythm, handling, and heat exposure. Sudden dryness, rough movement, or overheated glass can all cause leaf drop.
  • Mealybugs and aphids: Inspect between beads, along stems, and near flowerheads. Treat early before pests hide in dense growth.

Curio rowleyanus household precautions

Curio rowleyanus is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and children. The sap can irritate sensitive skin, so wash hands after pruning and avoid touching eyes after handling cut stems.

Curio rowleyanus naming note

Curio rowleyanus is an accepted species in Asteraceae and was formerly known as Senecio rowleyanus. Curio is commonly explained from Latin curiosus, meaning “curious,” reflecting the unusual succulent forms in this group. The epithet rowleyanus honours Gordon Douglas Rowley, a botanist and well-known succulent specialist.

In a hanging pot, Curio rowleyanus forms long classic string-of-pearls trails of rounded succulent beads.

Great value for the price
Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo
I have gotten smaller versions of this Lamb chop, my dog has loved them all the same but this one is great. It's big enough for him to carry around and it lasts a lot longer since he likes to tear them up fast.

Great Value Toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large
This toy has been one of my dog’s absolute favorites. He gets excited every time he sees it and will carry it around the house, toss it in the air, and keep himself entertained for a long time. The shape and texture seem perfect for him, and it quickly became one of his go-to toys over everything else in his basket. What I really like is that it holds up reasonably well for the price. It’s definitely not indestructible, and after a lot of play, it will sometimes start to rip—usually around the feet first since that’s where my dog tends to grab and chew the most. But honestly, considering how affordable it is, I don’t mind replacing it when needed. It’s inexpensive enough that rebuying feels worth it because he genuinely loves it that much. I’d rather keep buying a toy he is obsessed with than spend more on something that just sits untouched. It’s fun, cute, and keeps him happy, which is what matters most. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for dogs who love plush toys and playful chewing.

Best affordable squeaker toy
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
my dog is obsessed with this toy, this has became his new comfort toy and after having this for about four months the legs are falling off but it’s very durable. The squeaker also moved from the head of the chicken to the body of the chicken but that’s after it was played with every single day. I love that it has two squeakers and it’s the perfect toy for my dog.

Beautiful design, perfect quality for seasoned destroyers.
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Absolutely adorable, excellent quality, I have a couple of monsters whose teeth make any kong toy tremble, I was very concerned whether something as soft and nice would last. So far so good. Good looking and soft and tough at the same time!.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.
