Introducing the stunning string of fishhooks, scientifically known as Senecio radicans glauca, which is a trailing succulent variety of the Senecio radicans.

The fish hook plant, also known as the blue pickle vine, is a hybrid trailing succulent that belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to South Africa. The name "string of fish hook" comes from its distinctive appearance, as its leaves resemble tiny fishhooks. 


This fishhook Senecio plant features long, slender stems that cascade down, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or trailing down from shelves.

The stems are covered in small, cylindrical leaves that grow in pairs along the stems.

When the fishhooks plant has the proper growing conditions it grows very quickly and can get up to 32 feet tall. Whether you grow Fishhooks Senecio indoors or out, just make sure you give it room to trail!

The flowers of a string of fishhooks bloom from late summer to winter with daisy-like flowers. These delicate blooms are typically a creamy white or pale-yellow color and appear sporadically. While the Senecio flowers are not the main attraction of this hanging plant, they add a lovely touch when they do appear.

Most sites mix up the string of fishhook and string of bananas plants, but the glauca fishhook differs from the string of bananas (Senecio radicans) by having smaller, cylindrical leaves resembling fishhooks and a bluish-green color, whereas the string of bananas has elongated, banana-shaped leaves and a bright green color. Furthermore, the shape of 'Hooks' is longer and flatter than that of the string of bananas, which is rounded with a plump shape.

The Senecio radicans glauca fish hooks can be propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. This fish hook plant is not frost-hardy and winter-dormant. Avoid placing it directly under ACs, as it may cause leaves to droop. The fish hook plant looks best in hanging baskets as well as pots hung on walls. These can be grown in the driveway too. 

Watering Needs 

Succulents, like the Senecio Fish Hook plant, are excellent at withstanding drought or drought-tolerant fish hook plants. That's because the foliage of these succulent plants has the capacity to store water. Their leaves will explode if the soil is excessively wet or if you give them too much water.

Therefore, you typically only need to let the roots completely dry before watering them again. Watering them before they are completely dry can cause the roots to soak up water, which is bad because they are particularly prone to rotting. When your string of fishhook plants and roots get mushy, you'll recognize that something is wrong. 

If you notice the leaves trimming or wrinkling, this indicates that your Senecio plant needs to be watered. You ought to water these plants once every two weeks or so during the height of their growing season. 

You can dramatically cut back on that in the winter and only do it once a month. It's important to check the moisture level of the soil by sticking your finger about an inch deep into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days before watering. 

Light Requirements

The glauca string of fishhooks prefers bright, indirect sunlight. If you are growing his hanging plant indoors it thrives when placed near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit area of your home. Remember to rotate the fish hooks plant occasionally to ensure all sides receive adequate light for even growth.

When outdoors, ensure light shade and full sun indoors. Avoid exposing your fishhook plant to direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to burn.

If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming pale, it might indicate that the Senecio plant is not receiving enough light, so you can try moving it to a brighter location. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The fishhook plant prefers well-draining soil. A good option is a succulent potting mix, which provides the right balance of moisture retention and drainage. You can also create your own potting mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or pumice to improve drainage.

Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soilGo to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your string of fishhook Senecios thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing, these fishhook plants don't require heavy feeding. A balanced (5-10-5) natural NPK fertilizer can be applied once a year during the growing season of spring. It's important not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil and damage your fishhook succulent.

If the leaves start turning yellow or the Senecio succulent appears unhealthy, it may be a sign of over-fertilization, so it's best to reduce or stop fertilizing until the Senecio plant recovers.

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, they prefer temperatures between 60-80°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. They become mushy when exposed to chilly temperatures for too long. So, throughout the winter, you should bring the pots indoors. If the air in your home is particularly dry, you can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plants or using a humidifier.

For outdoor cultivation, your fishhook plant is generally suitable for USDA hardiness zones 10-12. Like many other succulents, they can withstand heat well, but they can only withstand cold or moisture for a brief period of time.

This fishhook Senecio can adapt to both dry and moderately humid environments. However, they may benefit from slightly higher humidity levels, especially during the drier winter months. 

Remember, these are general guidelines, and it's always best to observe your specific plant's response to its environment and make adjustments accordingly. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the String of Fishhooks (Senecio radicans glauca) is a fantastic trailing succulent that's perfect for hanging baskets or cascading down shelves. Its unique fishhook-shaped leaves give it a distinctive appearance. This plant loves bright, indirect light, so place it near a window where it can soak up some rays. When it comes to watering, it's best to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. This low-maintenance plant is a great addition to any succulent collection and adds a touch of whimsy to your space.

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for a beautiful plant Senecio radicans glauca - a string of fishhooks to care for!

Great book
Format: Kindle
I have been an author for decades and published 4 books. I've been an editor for over a decade and this book is perfect for seasoned and new writers. It certainly made me take a new, long look at the latest book I'm busy with. I think it's great for getting one focused on the important points. I loved it. There wasn't too much about how the brain works to bore one or make it feel like a technical book on neuroscience. I found her writing style amusing and entertaining. I will definitely recommend it to all my clients and writing friends. There was nothing in the book I didn't know, but this book forces one to focus on the bigger picture. It doesn't matter how accomplished one is as a writer, one can always learn more. And I certainly did with this book. So, thank you, Ms. Cron. I saw the negative three or fewer star comments and can only think the commentators didn't see what the author was actually trying to convey. It's a classic lesson in the KISS method (keep it simple stupid) and I loved it. This isn't a full-on, in-depth analysis of every part of the craft of writing, as many seemed to expect, that would take 12 full books or more. This is also not only for beginners as some suggest. To them I would say, don't let hubris cloud your ability to write better--think beyond that--read the book again. I think the book serves as an excellent reference to keep us on track when we lose the plot, so to speak. Seasoned writers can get quite jaded and write almost on auto-pilot at times--not good. Thank you, Ms. Cron, for putting me back on track and making me excited to re-write and re-edit my latest book, my first YA fantasy, for the zillionth time. I was out of my comfort zone with this book and feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure. Wired for Story has me fired up to go forth and do this. I highly recommend this book, especially for seasoned writers.

Thanks to a great new book ”Wired for story
Format: Kindle
I’ve written many books over the years, and published 40 or so. Once I started writing my first novel, I found out that all the old techniques just didn’t work. Thanks to a great new book ”Wired for story. The writer’s guide to using brain science. By Lisa Cron” Lisa studied and cataloged the works of several Neuro scientists. She explained all of that, plus how it applied to writing a novel. Better yet, she then shows us how to apply these techniques to where it counts. In addition, This changes the hierarchy of your novel. Ensuring that it’s focusing on what’s important to the brain. Using this new brain science, she proposes a completely new hierarchy of needs for your book. Moreover, the fact that the brain is trying to solve the problem of the protagonist. • “What happens” is the plot • “Someone” is the protagonist • The “goal” is what’s known as the story question • “How are he or she changes” is what the story itself is actually about. As counterintuitive as it may sound, the story is not about the plot or even what happens in it. Stories are about how we, rather than the world around us, change. The more your reader discovers the missing pieces to solving the protagonist's problem the more interesting if it is. It seems as the mind creates a mental stimulation of events described in the story. But he goes much deeper than that Details about actions and sensations that are captured from the text and integrated with personal knowledge from past experiences these data are then run through mental stimulation using brain regions a closely mirror those involved when people perform, imagine, or observe similar real-world activities. Haven’t you ever come home from a movie, reenacting that movie in your own mind? When the events of the story of filtering through the protagonist's point of view, allowing us to watch as she makes sense of everything. Seeing it in her eyes. This is not just like we see things. It’s that we grasp what they mean to her. Other words the reader must be aware of the protagonist personal effect on everything that happens. This is exactly where I fell apart on my novel is should be a first person third person. Lisa explains all these points of view, their advantages, and their disadvantages… My personal choices third person, omniscient. It also fixes another problem about tags. This technique is so powerful the third person doesn’t have to be bothered with he said;​ she said it’s so intuitive, it needs no explanation. It also settles a big dispute that I’ve always had the use of italic, quotes, and indented text. None are necessary. Some of the best examples that I’ve ever seen for show rather than tell. All the points that the author makes are demonstrated and explained with real examples from published articles. It’s like a five-year writing course that you can complete in three or four days. I bookmarked it extensively so that I can get back to those important points. Neuroscience also explains why social proof works so well. And a few hints on how to customize it, for your particular problem or opportunity. As a copywriter, one who writes advertising copy? I have long been aware of how to write directly to the subconscious mind. These techniques have been known for almost 100 years. We just didn’t know why they worked. Only that they did work. Thanks to Lisa for this fantastic book, I now know why they work.

Wowsers!
Format: Paperback
I purchased this book a few weeks ago expecting it to be pretty much like most of the other writing guides. I was not expecting to fall in love with it. I don't know if it appeals to me because of my ADD or the fact that many of the scientific studies Ms. Cron cites in her book confirms much of what I suspected was true in my dealings with people for over a half-century in sales and marketing. It helped fill in the gaps of how we as social creatures love to immerse ourselves in story on an ongoing basis... that we are hard-wired to socially share our thoughts and emotions through more than statistical data streams and cold hard facts. Her breakdown of the classic movie, "It's A Wonderful Life" literally changed my life by allowing me to see that George Bailey and I shared much in the way of misguided external goals blinding me to my true inner goals and motivations. I know this might sound like crap to some of you... but, I swear it is all true. In delving into what the protagonist of this movie wanted I discovered what I truly wanted and already had... I wanted to be unconditionally loved and accepted and I have all of that and more in my lovely wife. A black cloud of loathing at feeling like a failure lifted and I realize that if I died right now, I would do so a happy and fulfilled man. I know she did not write this book so I could pull my head out of a dark place, but, Lisa Cron, I thank you anyway. Other than my life altering epiphany, I would recommend this book because it is more than just another how to write better book... the information here will help anyone who wants to understand themselves better and the people around them either living or fictional. I can see where it will be a great help to writers who want to better write the stories that matter to them. I know it is helping me. I cannot recommend this book more highly than saying... buy it. It is worth every penny you'll spend on it. (For the record, I bought the paperback version.)

The ultimate "wake-up" scent (and no dry skin!)
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 12.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried plenty of "invigorating" body washes, but most of them just smell like artificial lime or leave my skin feeling tight. This Huron Body Wash is in a completely different league. Why it’s my new daily go-to: Complex, Fresh Scent: The mix of citrus, eucalyptus, and mint is incredible. It’s crisp and bold enough to wake you up in the morning, but the aromatic greens give it a sophisticated, high-end finish that doesn't smell like a cheap drugstore brand. Actually Moisturizing: Usually, "cleansing" washes strip your skin, but the coconut oil and Vitamin E in this actually leave my skin feeling smooth. I’ve noticed way less dryness on my elbows and shoulders since switching. Great Lather: A little goes a long way. It creates a rich, creamy lather that feels premium and rinses off clean without any slimy residue. The "Peace of Mind" Factor: It’s hard to find a performance-focused body wash that is also vegan and cruelty-free. Knowing I'm getting a professional-grade product without the harsh chemicals (and with Witch Hazel to keep my skin clear) makes the price totally worth it. Bottom Line: If you want to start your day smelling like a high-end spa rather than a locker room, get this. It’s worth every penny!
