Curio rowleyanus is an easy to grow trailing houseplant, with fleshy, bead-like leaves, which form along the pendent stems. Creating a very pretty cascading effect, it's perfect for popping on a shelf, cabinet or tabletop.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.


  • Home care:
    String of beads is a low-maintenance succulent that thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sun. Use a free-draining cactus or succulent compost and allow the soil to dry out between waterings, taking extra care not to overwater in winter.

    Maintain a minimum temperature of 10°C (50°F) in the colder months. Feed with a diluted cactus fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer to encourage growth. Trim back straggly stems to keep a neat shape.
