Senecio herreianus or Curio herreianus. String of Watermelons, String of Raindrops, Gooseberry Plant
Hailing from Namibia in South Africa, this intriguing Kokedama is a tender perennial succulent prized for creeping stems laden with tear-shaped foliage. The plant’s genus name, Senecio, is Latin for “old man.” Because of their sprawling growing habit these stunning specimens look best elevated on a Granite Stand. Plant shown is a mature specimen; actual planet shipped will be a young plant with 4 - 6" long stands. to allow for growing time in the moss ball.
Please note that the plants you receive may be smaller and less mature than the ones photographed. Each String of Tears will have numerous hanging strands of tears ranging in length from 2" to 6". They will be eager for growth in their new home!
When you begin to see the root structure of the plant protrude out of the moss ball, it's time to consider moving it to a pot.
Repotting Steps:
Find a pot: Choose a pot that is roughly 1/2" wider in circumference than the moss ball.
Add Potting Soil: Fill the bottom of the pot with potting soil. Add enough soil so that when the ball is placed in the pot, the top of the ball sits slightly above the top of the pot.
Place the Ball: Place the entire ball (string and moss included) into the pot and add soil around it.
Soil Level: Ensure the top of the ball sits 1/2" above the soil line.
Water and Adjust: Water the plant and add additional soil if needed to maintain the proper soil level.
