String of Watermelons Senecio herreanus is a succulent plant of the genus Senecio in the family Asteraceae. It's called String of Watermelons because its striped shape is somewhat similar to a watermelon.

The stems of String of Watermelons grow prostrate, the leaves are fleshy and teardrop-shaped, green, with a stripe on the epidermis, and the stripes will turn purple when there is a large temperature difference and sufficient light, and even the whole leaf will look a little purple-red. In addition, String of Watermelons has a thicker and somewhat transparent stripe on the leaf surface.

 

Care Tips

Light: The most suitable way for it to sunbathe is to receive sunlight in an environment that has been dispersed by sunlight. It can not accept too much direct sunlight to itself, if it receives direct sunlight, its leaf color will become yellow from bright green. If the situation is serious, it may even lead to the withering of the whole plant. It should not be exposed to sunlight either.

Water: It does not require much water, and its roots tend to rot if the soil is waterlogged for a long time. In spring and autumn, it can be watered more often, which makes it easy to grow in groups and look very good. When the temperature is very high in summer, you should reduce the amount and frequency of watering, but you can spray some mist or sprinkle some water into the air. Of course, you can't water too much in winter, for one thing, it grows very slowly and doesn't need much, and you have to pay attention to prevent freezing.

Soil: In order to meet its requirements for loose soil, you can choose to mix perlite, peat, kiryu zuna / kiryu sand, etc. The amount of perlite added should be slightly less game. In addition, it is best not to use a substrate like vermiculite, because it can easily harm the root part of this plant.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots, ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability, clay pots lose water too fast, plastic pots retain water too strong, and poor permeability. Also they do best in hanging baskets.

Temperature: Like a warm growth environment, it is adaptable, relatively hardy growth of the appropriate temperature is between  55 - 77°F (13 - 25 ℃), winter overwintering temperature is generally not less than 41°F (5 ℃).

Humidity: Prefer a humid environment 50% to 60% humidity, can give sufficient moisture, but the summer stifling heat should pay attention to ventilation. It grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Best air flow
      Size: 9.6" x 11.1" x 2.2"
      I have a 2022 ram 1500 four-door. The factory filter from the ram dealer is about $40 but it’s not reusable. That was the only one I found that had good airflow into the cabin. I tried several other brands but the airflow was reduced excessively. The ram filter was 15 mph, most of the other aftermarkets dropped the airflow to about 9 mph. I just installed a K&N reusable filter and the airflow is back up to 15 mph. Great job K&N!!

      Fits Well and Reusable. I'm Happy.
      Size: 9.6" x 11.1" x 2.2", Size: 9.6" x 11.1" x 2.2"
      For less than the price of 2 disposable FRAM CV11671 cabin filters for my 2019 RAM 1500 and this will last forever. If it gets wet, like I've had happen with the paper throw-away filters due to stuff falling off trees in the spring and clogging cowl area water drains and backing up into filter ( yeah, that's a thing ) and can clean and dry this filter and reuse. Great directions came in the box along with a sticker to point out that this is a lifetime filter so someone doesn't throw it away. Do this yourself. Don't let some auto repair shop talk you into it. I was getting tires balanced recently and heard a quote they gave over the phone of $79 to do this. I don't know what kind of vehicle that was for but this ain't rocket science. Don't get ripped off. Now back to this filter. There is no arrow for air flow so I figure it flows well both ways and just put it in with the K and N logo right side up and facing out. It's not a straight in shot the way RAM positioned the opening for the cabin filter slot but was no big deal. Also realize this isn't a perfect square filter ...It's a rectangle so don't try to shove the fat end in and say it doesn't fit. I haven't noticed any air flow differences with the heating / ac system but some people say they do. I'm just happy I don't have to buy anymore disposable filters and can dry this if it gets wet. The cleaning and refresh spray kit is #99-6000 that comes with a 8oz and 12oz bottle and I'm trying to find that cheaper somewhere for when I do clean this thing.

      Can’t go wrong with K&N
      Size: 9.6" x 11.1" x 2.2"
      So I recently took my pickup in to have some recall work done, half way through the process I got a call from the dealership stating I needed a new air filter and that a new one would cost nearly $60. I chuckled and told then to put the old one back in and I immediately came to Amazon and ordered this cabin filter. I’ve used K&N products in the past and have never been sorry, and that is the case with this lifetime filter. Upon installing this filter I noticed an IMMEDIATE difference in air flow into the cabin, it even smelled better. If this filter ever gets dirty Ira easy to clean and reinstall, paying for itself over time. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up, you will not be sorry.
