📌 Product Description

Curio rowleyanus, widely known as String of Pearls, is a highly sought-after trailing succulent featuring distinctive spherical, bead-like leaves that cascade elegantly from hanging baskets and containers. Each “pearl” stores water, making this plant exceptionally drought-tolerant and well adapted to dry conditions.

Its graceful trailing habit creates a dramatic waterfall effect, making it a popular choice for modern interiors, patios, and succulent displays. Mature plants may produce small white, cinnamon-scented flowers during the cooler months.

A stylish, low-maintenance succulent ideal for South African homes and water-wise gardens.
