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!

The slow feeder bowl is DOGGONE fantastic! Except…
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I own a pet sitting business and get to see a lot of animal products. So when I ordered the Slow Feeder Dog Bowl in the purple color, I was super excited to try it on my own doggy. She’s a doodle and I tell her all the time, she’s the size of a horse! While I have a slow-eat bowl for my Harlee, it is an old, hard plastic bowl. Time to upgrade! I LOVE this bowl! The feel, the size, the material, the slow feeder aspect and the color. I love it is dishwasher safe, too. While the silicone material is very flexible, I was worried it would be too flexible. But the steel rim at the top of the bowl, which is fully covered so you do not see it, ensures the bowl doesn’t collapse. At first glance, the bowl looked rather small despite being a 3 cup dish. My doggy eats one cup of kibble at each meal and there was plenty of room leftover so no worries there! When it was time for Harlee Grace to eat her lunch, I put the bowl down and she just looked at me. Puzzled. As if to say “What’s this?” But after a few minutes, her stomach finally kicked in and it was time for her to eat. And voila - it took longer than with her old slow-eat bowl! The only negative comment is the suction cup on the bottom of the bowl. It does not “suck” very well to my tile flooring which is rather disappointing considering the bowl is very light. If it wasn’t for the suction cup issue, I’d give this slow feeder bowl 4 doggy thumbs up and 10 stars.

Sturdy and it works!
Color: Orange
This slow feeder dog bowl is really well designed. The bright orange color is fun, and the cute paw print on the bottom is a nice touch. Inside, the sides have lots of textures that allow wet food to stick to it and do a good job at slowing my dog down while eating, without frustrating her too much. The bowl itself feels very sturdy. It’s made of silicone, so its dishwasher safe and there’s a metal ring inside the top that helps it keep its shape, so it doesn’t collapse or get crushed easily. Another big plus is the suction cup on the bottom—it sticks well to the floor and keeps my dog from pushing it all over the place. Overall, this feels like a high-quality bowl that’s both practical and adorable. Great option if you have a fast eater and want something durable and easy to clean. OH! And it comes with a spatula!

Why do I love this thing so much?
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
This is a legitimately nice dog bowl! It’s huge, made of super nice quality silicone and it’s got a very nice structure given the metal reinforcement in the rim of the bowl. The bottom of the bowl has a suction cup on it that prevents it from slipping around, and I noticed that it works really well, even on floors that I wouldn’t expect it to like my luxury vinyl plank floors. As soon as I set it down without applying any pressure, it just stuck to the LVP so easily. It’s very large as well in size and probably much bigger than my dog needs since he’s a 7 pound Pomeranian. I was considering even turning this into a paintbrush water bowl because it could double as that given the texture on the bottom of the bowl would be good for getting paying off of a brush, and the suction Cup bottom works well when you have water inside the bowl that can come out and make the table slippery. I just love this ball so much and love that it can be used for two different common use cases in my home. It comes with one of those cake batter scraper things which I think is used to help clean the bowl in between the grooves. But I’m not totally sure. I love that. The color is purple my favorite color.

A great boredom‑buster that works perfectly as a distraction.
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I ordered the Excdesolns Slow Feeder Dog Bowl for my 15‑month‑old Lab. This is my first time using a slow feeder, but I knew I wanted one made from safe materials—this bowl is 100% food‑grade silicone, BPA‑free, and non‑toxic. It’s solid and sturdy, not flimsy at all, and the quality really shows. The suction bottom works great too—once you set it down, it stays put. I’ve been using it as a boredom‑buster or distraction tool, especially when it’s time to trim her nails. A little peanut butter in the grooves keeps her busy for a good while. It actually works better than I expected, and I’m considering using it for her fresh food as well. Overall, it’s a well‑made, functional bowl that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommend.

Practical Slow Feeder Bowl, Works as Expected
Color: Blue
I tried this slow feeder dog bowl for my pet, and overall it’s fairly well made. The suction cup keeps the bowl in place on smooth surfaces, and the reinforced rim feels sturdy. The puzzle design slows down eating, though it may take some getting used to for certain dogs. Made of BPA-free silicone, it seems safe and easy to clean. It works for a range of dog sizes, though the 3-cup capacity might be a bit small for larger breeds. Overall, it’s an okay option for slow feeding.
