Curio rowleyanus

Curio rowleyanus, widely known as string of pearls, is a trailing succulent with thin stems lined by small spherical leaves. Each bead stores water, giving the plant its rounded texture and making the strands instantly recognisable in hanging pots and raised displays.

The stems trail from the pot or creep across the surface, rooting where nodes touch a suitable substrate. Indoors, Curio rowleyanus develops steadily when the crown receives strong light, the root zone dries cleanly between watering, and excess water leaves the planter quickly.

Curio rowleyanus plant highlights

  • Classic string-of-pearls succulent with round, pea-like leaves
  • Trailing stems that can hang from pots or root along the substrate surface
  • Succulent foliage with a narrow translucent line on each bead
  • Small white flowerheads may appear on mature plants under bright, settled conditions
  • Naturally suited to hanging planters, bright shelves, and shallow succulent bowls

Curio rowleyanus bead form and trailing habit

Curio rowleyanus is native to South Africa’s Cape region and is recorded from dry habitats where trailing stems can move along the ground and root at contact points. Its spherical leaves reduce exposed surface area while storing moisture. Indoors, healthy growth depends on strong crown light, careful watering and a breathable substrate.

The round leaves have a small pointed tip and a narrow translucent stripe. For container culture, the crown is the key area to monitor because crowded stems and damp substrate can hold moisture around new growth. A bright, open top surface and light grooming help maintain dense growth from the centre.

Curio rowleyanus care essentials

  • Light: Provide very bright indirect light with some gentle direct sun. East, west, or a bright south-facing position set back from hot glass can suit it well.
  • Watering: Water deeply after the substrate has dried through. Pearls that feel slightly less firm can indicate thirst; consistently soft pearls suggest root or moisture stress.
  • Substrate: Plant in a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix amended with pumice, lava rock, grit, or coarse sand. The fine roots depend on oxygen as well as moisture.
  • Drainage: Always use a pot with drainage holes. Hanging pots can dry unevenly, so check the crown and lower substrate before watering.
  • Temperature: Keep Curio rowleyanus warm during active growth, around 18–27 °C. A cooler winter position above 10 °C with drier conditions can support seasonal rest.
  • Humidity: Normal room air suits this succulent. Light, drainage and crown airflow matter more than raising humidity.
  • Feeding: Feed sparingly in spring and summer with diluted succulent fertiliser. Excess nutrients can push soft, stretched growth.
  • Pruning: Trim overly long strands to keep the pot balanced. Fresh cuttings can be used to fill the crown or start a new pot.
  • Propagation: Set stem cuttings onto barely moist gritty substrate and pin the nodes against the surface until roots form.
  • Repotting: Renew the mix once roots fill the container or the substrate breaks down. Handle the strands gently because the beads detach easily.

Curio rowleyanus issue guide

  • Crown rot: Check for damp, compacted substrate around the top of the pot. Increase light, improve airflow, and remove any soft stems quickly.
  • Shrivelled pearls: Check whether the pot is dry and whether roots are active. A full soak helps when roots are healthy; damaged roots need fresh cuttings and drier care.
  • Stretched stems: Raise the light level and make sure brightness reaches the crown along with the trailing growth.
  • Falling beads: Review watering rhythm, handling, and heat exposure. Sudden dryness, rough movement, or overheated glass can all cause leaf drop.
  • Mealybugs and aphids: Inspect between beads, along stems, and near flowerheads. Treat early before pests hide in dense growth.

Curio rowleyanus household precautions

Curio rowleyanus is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and children. The sap can irritate sensitive skin, so wash hands after pruning and avoid touching eyes after handling cut stems.

Curio rowleyanus naming note

Curio rowleyanus is an accepted species in Asteraceae and was formerly known as Senecio rowleyanus. Curio is commonly explained from Latin curiosus, meaning “curious,” reflecting the unusual succulent forms in this group. The epithet rowleyanus honours Gordon Douglas Rowley, a botanist and well-known succulent specialist.

In a hanging pot, Curio rowleyanus forms long classic string-of-pearls trails of rounded succulent beads.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
