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!

Excellent Reading for Real Estate Investors
This book is worth it's weight in gold! I've liked all of Kiyosaki's books and courses but this one really stands out. Mr. Kiyosaki has brought together some brilliant minds and what they wrote is easy to understand and makes absolute sense. As an investor specializing in lease options, I tried to do it all on my own and got 4 contracts but then they were not with motivated sellers. While reading this book, it became very clear to me the importance of having a team of people to help you out. My biggest take away is "Investing is a team sport." Yes, I know that's a 'no-brainer' but now I truly realize what he and the others who contributed are trying to say in this volume. Lately, I've switched over to specializing in tax deeds and liens and the chapter on lien investing by Mr. Wheelright is very good - he makes it very simple and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book. It is in the top 3 books on real estate investing that I've ever read, and I'm a book and seminar junkie. Get this book today!!

The Real Estate Book I Always Wanted
It is quite thick book but gets to the heart of the matter of real estate. Basically, it's about the challenges/successes of other real estate investors; how they recovered from their mistakes/failures and, are at the top of their game. I wanted to have this book in my investing library since I run my own real estate investment company. I'm nowhere near through reading it and am reading other real estate books simultaneously. The training is always ongoing b/c sometimes things change within this industry that may or may not affect how we do business. My husband and I were trained via Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Investor Program in late 2011. Since we can't work this business by ourselves, I assembled and hired a team of professionals (in 2 states) to work with since real estate investing is primarily a relationship business. You realize a higher rate of success using this book as a reference guide, learning from the mistakes of others in helping to achieve your goals.

I really appreciate the expertese
I gave this book a 5/5 due to the accumulated experience of the individuals within this compilation. Real Estate has many facets and this book, although not all encompassing for that would be nearly impossible, it does help make the "picture" more clear-that picture being where one ought to apply their efforts in becoming a great real estate practitioner. Very informative book, but just as any book, it takes work on the readers part to bring success to fruition.
