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.

      Good cleaner, scent doesn’t last
      Have been excited to try this and see how it compares to my previous cleaning solutions. I love the idea of a cleaner that keeps protecting my home for seven days after I clean! The bottle arrived packed inside a plastic bag, which kept it from leaking on other items in the box. That said, it did clearly leak inside the bag and I had to clean off the bottle before using as it was covered in dried solution that felt tacky to the touch. Tried to show in the photo but not sure that comes through. Anyway, I immediately made a bucket of solution per the directions and headed off to clean. The ratio of 1/2 cup cleaner to one gallon of water makes a VERY sudsy mixture. Not desirable for wiping surfaces or cleaning floors, in my opinion. I’ll use less cleaner next time because the suds were super annoying to deal with and also made me feel like an additional rinse was needed. A main goal of purchasing this was to use it on my porcelain tile wood look floors and have a long lasting scent, as other reviewers mentioned. I don’t think the scent lasted very long, though I was pleased with how fresh it smelled. It doesn’t smell like a traditional lemon cleaner. The scent is light and fresh and has a sort of herbal or “grassy” aspect to it. My floor seemed quite clean after using this (the mop bucket dump was surprising!) so even though the scent doesn’t stick around for long, I’m pleased with how clean my floor got. Would probably purchase again.

      Hair growth
      I see results with my hair growth I'm very pleased. There is a noticeable smell to it but dissipates over a short time.

      Great product, saved my hair
      Honestly this is one of the best products I have ever used for my hair. I have been able to increase volume and thickness of my hair. The product is versatile and can be used in conjunction with other products as well. The application is very easy and I usually use any excess product on my skin for the added benefits. If you have fine hair your hair will get oily if you don't wash out so I just apply at night and wash out the next morning. Overall my hair is so much healthier and I am really happy I found this. Also I apply this 2-3 times per week overnight and wash in the AM. It will stain your pillow case so sleep with a bonnet or something with breathable material.
