The String of Pearls, also known as Senecio rowleyanus, is a unique trailing succulent from the daisy family, admired for its distinctive cascading growth habit. This plant is also commonly called string of beads, string of peas, and rosary vine. 

The String of Pearls gets its name from its distinctive, long, trailing stems that are adorned with small, spherical leaves that resemble pearls. Each of these bead-like leaves features a unique translucent “window”, a thin, clear strip that allows light to pass into the leaf for photosynthesis. These little green pearls hang delicately from the stems, creating a beautiful cascading effect. In its natural habitat, the stems trail along the ground, rooting where they come into contact, and form dense mats.

Native to South Africa, this charming string of pearls houseplant features trailing stems with pea-like or tiny melon-shaped leaves spilling over planters and hanging baskets, much like its closely related plant string of rubiesGo to othonna capensis ruby necklace.

Your String of Pearls typically grows up to 2 feet long rather than tall, as it is a naturally trailing and hanging plant. 

The moderately fast-growing nature of this string of pearls plant makes it a great choice for a variety of landscapes.

The flowers of the string of pearls bloom during the spring and summer months, with white flowers along the stalk and bright yellow anthers. However, it's important to note that String of Pearls plants are primarily grown for their unique bead-like foliage rather than their flowers. Nonetheless, if your string of pearl plants does flower, it's definitely a treat to behold!

This string of pearls also comes in another lovely variety, a variegated string of pearlsGo to senecio rowleyanus string of pearls variegated, with its white-creamy foliage.

When and How to Water Your String of Pearls Plant

String of Pearls is a drought-tolerant succulent that thrives with minimal watering. To keep your plant healthy, allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and only water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The spring of pearls plant prefers watering every 10-14 days in the growing season, and every 3-4 weeks in the dormant season.

During the spring and summer growing season, water every 10–14 days on average. As the plant actively grows, it may require slightly more frequent watering, especially in warm or bright environments. 

In fall and winter, reduce watering to about once every 3–4 weeks. Since the plant enters a semi-dormant phase, it uses less moisture and is more vulnerable to overwatering. 

Too much water can quickly kill a String of Pearls plant, so it’s always safer to underwater than to overwater. Using terracotta or clay pots helps absorb excess moisture and keeps roots healthier by preventing soggy soil conditions.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your String of Pearls 

When grown indoors, place it near a window that receives bright indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. South-facing or west-facing windows are usually the best choices. You can also use artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light if natural sunlight is limited.

When growing outdoors, your low-maintenance string of pearls prefers full sun to partial shade to thrive. Four hours of direct morning or evening sun can also be beneficial for your Senecio rowleyanus, but be careful not to expose it to intense, direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves of your String of Pearls succulent.

Keep an eye on your string of pearl succulents for any signs of light stress. If the leaves start to turn yellow or brown, it could be a sign that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the leaves become elongated and spaced out, it might indicate that your pearl succulent is not receiving enough light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-drained soil for your Senecio rowleyanus, and NPK fertilizer (5-10-5) once a year in spring for healthy growth. Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix or cactus soil mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae, perfect for promoting shallow root systems and happy String of Pearls succulents.

Apply the NPK fertilizer once a year in the spring of about 5-10-5 ratio, to provide a gentle boost of nutrients. However, during the cooler months or when your Senecio rowleyanus is in a dormant phase, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. 

If you notice any signs of fertilizer burn, such as leaf discoloration or wilting, flush the soil with water to remove any excess nutrients. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12. 

When it comes to humidity, the String of Pearls is adapted to low-humidity environments.

It can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, but it's important to avoid excessive moisture around the plant.

Ensure good air circulation and avoid placing your String of Pearls in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens.

Indoor Growing String of Pearls Plant Requirements

If you are growing your String of Pearls indoors, ideally, keep your plant in a warm environment. In general, it prefers average room temperatures between 60°F and 85°F, which helps it stay healthy and active. Its trailing growth habit makes it an excellent houseplant for hanging baskets, shelves, and high planters, where its cascading stems can be fully displayed and appreciated.

According to the ASPCA, String of Pearls is mildly toxic to cats, dogs, and horses if ingested in large amounts. So, if you have furry friends at home, it's best to keep your string of pearls out of their reach or opt for pet-friendly alternatives.

it's kubrick. it's a masterpiece.
i don't really like movies about couples but being kubrick, i gave it a chance. the cinematography is just so incredibly rich, not only with flashy scenes and beautiful colors and framing, but with all these referential easter eggs and nuggets of hints and symbolism and...oh my god it's just RICH. if you like psychological and mystery stuff, and photography, and lurid secret society stuff, this movie is incredible. i will watch it again for sure.

4k blu ray scenes freeze
The movie is good. The 4k blu ray froze at one scene and skipped ahead a few scenes. It makes me sad. Hopefully the blu ray doesn't freeze.

The 4K's Rating
I'm not sure what's going on with this release, as it gets praised by some, condemned by others. Very strange. For me, all the criticism of the colors in some scenes (like the teal & orange bedroom scene) makes no sense, because those colors do not appear as saturated and forceful on my Panasonic 4K player and Samsung 42" 4K TV. They look noticable, as teal and orange naturally clash at any strength. But they don't look entirely unnatural. As for the grain, it iS awful during the initial party scene, to the point of distraction. But as the movie progresses, it seems to weaken. I'm not sure at what exact point the distraction ends, only that I became fully absorbed in the movie before Bill's nocturnal "adventures." (As a matter of note, I don't oversharpen in the settings, and don't bump up saturation.) This rating is for the 4K. I've only watched about 20 minutes of the blu-ray, during which I encountered a 3-4 second sound dropout that was troublesome. As in SILENCE. It's something I intend to contact Criterion about, to see if this is an anomaly (in which case I'll initiated a replacement from Amazon). If it's a general problem, I'll ask Criterion for a blu-ray replacement. I want to watch more of the blu-ray before taking any action, in case there are more dropouts to report. BTW, the blu-ray looks quite good to me, altho I think the 4K is slightly more detailed.

One of my all-time favorites looking better than ever!
Firstly, the bad (see pictures). I'm not knocking off any stars, because there's nothing wrong with the movie/4K transfer. If you see the 4K variant listed for cheap, be aware you may need to buy a new case, which for a single is roughly $8-$9 per, and $22 if you buy a pack. I had a case, and just moved the slip cover over. Not ideal, but... If I didn't have a spare case I would've had it replaced. For a movie that's special to me as this one is I'd prefer to have the OEM case. Something just feels less authentic knowing I had to transfer a movie (one of my all-time favorites) that recently got a 4K transfer, into another case. Just be aware of this if you see it pop up for sale on Amazon for a low price. It's possible it could have something to do with shipping, but this was shipped from Amazon. I just don't "think" it would be crushed so bad to break the plastic housing into pieces on the top, bottom, and bottom of the spine from shipping. The seller may not have shipped it in this condition, but I assume they did, or I wouldn't imagine it would've been listed as cheap as I got it for. I'm not knocking the seller or Amazon. It was a great deal overall, but maybe not so much so if I hadn't had a spare case. The improvements to the 4K variant are very good. The contrast and black levels are drastically improved over the HD Blu-ray. Colors are better, and the overall transfer just looks great. It's a genuine 35mm transfer, and with the resolution boost I can see things in this movie now that I don't ever recall being able to see before. I may be redundant here, but truly, the black levels of the suits are excellent. No more gray looking suits. The overall contrast of the film is greatly enhanced. Film grain: I think this is important to mention, because it won't be long before 120+ inch TVs are more widely available, and affordable. I'm viewing this on a 120" screen projected from a Sony laser projector, and I'm not saying that as a humble brag. I'm simply saying I realize most will be viewing this on smaller screens at the time of writing this review, and the film grain will be less evident for the average viewer. Even at 120" it looks good. Too many details may have been scrubbed away if they tried to remove all of the film grain, and it would lose that 35mm look. Now, Jurassic Park 4K? I have to watch it on a smaller screen to be bearable, because the film grain in Jurassic Park 4K is intolerably bad for my liking. For anyone who owns and enjoys older films that are really special to you, never get rid of your smaller screen if you do eventually move up to 100+ inches, because even as horrible as the film grain is on Jurassic Park 4K at 120", it looks like it was shot yesterday when I watch it on a 65". I imagine Dark City 4K would look amazing on anything below 100" (unless you sit really close to the screen), but again, it still looks really good to me at 120". This film is one of my childhood and all-time favorites. I won't write a review explaining the movie itself, because I imagine most people who are reading this have already seen and love this film, and are only looking to see what the improvements are for the 4K transfer. Search YouTube "Dark City 4K Vs HD" for really good side-by-side comparisons so you can see just how much they put into this. I think the channel name is "Twin Flicks" that I watched the comparison on before purchasing this/Dark City in 4K. I highly recommend the 4K variant of Dark City from Arrow. I'm not really qualified to say, but I think they did a great job with this transfer.
