The String of Tears stands out due to its truly unusual foliage! Its long vines are dotted with curious round leaves- and by round, we mean totally spherical! These bright green spheres have gained the plant many common names, with comparisons to pearls, peas, beads and marbles. In reality, they are neither glass nor pearl but a specialised kind of leaf which has grown this way to reduce the surface area, allowing it to retain more water. In the wild, it roots everywhere a vine touches the ground, forming mats of tiny round leaves; as a houseplant, it is usually grown with the stems trailing, allowing it to show off the vines to the best effect!

Scientific Name
Senecio herreanus (old man plant)

Common Name
String of Tears, String of Pearls, String of Beads, Rosary Vine, String of Peas, String of Marbles, Senecio herreianus

Origin
Native to dry areas in Southwest Africa

Light
The correct light level is key for string of tears! Make sure it's in a bright spot, but doesn't get direct sunlight in summer as this can scorch the foliage. A splash of morning or evening sun wil benefit it over winter, though, when the light is weaker and shorter.

Water
Allow all of the soil to dry out between waters; make sure the pot feels light before you water again! Bottom-watering is a good way to look after the foliage when watering, as if you water onto foliage and it cannot dry properly, this can lead to issues with mould on the plant.

Humidity
Low humidity is what this plant is used to. an occasional hose-down will help to keep the leaves free of dust but make sure they can dry out quickly afterwards to prevent issues with rot!

Soil
A well-draining soil with added sand, or one designed for cacti and succulents, will be best for this plant! Repot every three years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Fertilise every two months in the growing period and reduce to every three in autumn and winter to replicate its usual dormancy period. A specific 'cactus' feed will produce the best results.

Temperature
Temperature should ideally be between 18-26°C- make sure it doesn't drop below 15°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
To keep your String of Tears bushy, you can trim back longer stems and propagate the cuttings! You will get best results by choosing healthy foliage and cutting at least six inches (15cm). Remove older leaves and put the bare end into soil. Increased humidity will help, so if you can place it in a plastic bag in a dry location, it should root more quickly.

Milo approved!!!
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Large - 4 Pack
My dog, Milo, loves these squeeky balls. He is a larger dog but not huge. He's about 60 lbs. They are the perfect fit to his mouth. Soft enough for him to chew on but sturdy enough to hold up.

Squeaky Tennis Balls Are Great Fun!
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Large - 4 Pack
My Doberman loves these! That said, she doe's tear them up over time because once she gets one, she squeak's it continually and chews it. They are tennis ball which are not made to withstand aggressive chewers, but she loves them. They are a great size for her, we play with them every night. She's not a picker and doesn't swallow things so I let her have each one until it's destroyed. Then we get out another one to start the process again. They are a reasonable price for the fun she has.

Nice & colorful
Color: Multi-colored, Size: Small - 12 Pack
My dogs love these balls. I purchased these with some smaller balls (another brand). I have two small breed dogs, So, I would like them to be a little smaller. But these balls fit in their mouths just fine. And they squeak. My fur babies love that. They also come in nice colors.

Not for aggressive chewers
The balls were fun and squeaky for about a week. Then the ball began to spli in half. We have two English bulldogs and they bite down hard when retrieving these. They enjoyed the noise as well, but we had to toss them a few weeks after they arrived.
