Senecio radicans (String of Beans) – A Fast-Growing Trailing Succulent

The String of Beans (Senecio radicans) is a vibrant, trailing succulent with banana or bean shaped leaves cascading down long, slender stems. Also called String of Bananas or Fishhook Senecio. Known for its fast growth and easy maintenance, this plant is perfect for hanging baskets, shelf displays, or as ground cover in warmer climates. Its lush green foliage adds a unique charm to any space.

Drought-Tolerant & Low-Maintenance

Thriving in bright, indirect sunlight, the String of Bananas is highly drought-tolerant, requiring watering only when the soil is completely dry. Its succulent leaves store water, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer low-maintenance plants.

Perfect for Indoor & Outdoor Use

This adaptable plant does well indoors near bright windows or outdoors in a sheltered, sunny spot. In the right conditions, it produces small, white flowers with a mild cinnamon scent, enhancing its appeal. Whether displayed in hanging baskets, cascading from shelves, or as a ground cover, the String of Bananas is a standout plant for any setting.
