Senecio 'String of Pearls' Succulent Trailing Indoor House Plants Trailing Foliage Perfect for Windowsill or Conservatory, 1x 14cm Potted Plant by Thompson & Morgan

Great plant. Will never recommended enough. Fab value for money. Speedy delivery. Only negative: it was bashed up and knocked by the time it was delivered to me with some of its soil all over inside the box Hiroshima style.

I have lots of plants in my home and always tend them with TLC. On arrival of my plants which were carefully packed, I then carefully unravelling the trailing strings of hanging pearls.I remember being over the moon with my plants after receiving them.I purchased 2 plants in total. One went in the kitchen, plenty of light and a good room temperature.The other one one I put in my bathroom, plenty of light, perfect temperature & with the added bonus of moist air.Both suffered the same fate!Grey & mouldy plants in a short space of time.It’s put me off ordering any other online plants to be honest.I’ve never ‘lost’ a plant in my house, let alone 2! Both in different rooms so I can only assume that it wasn’t me.

I don’t think this plant is a string of pearls. To me, this looks much more like a string of tears. But the advertised photo also looks like a string of tears so I guess that one’s my bad.The plant arrived with soil that was completely dry which was great, but I had to repot this plant shortly after I found that once watered the soil that it was planted in wasn’t draining as well as this plant requires- I think this might be why some other reviewers are experiencing the plant rotting away. I normally wouldn’t want to do this with a new plant because this will put them into shock, and they are already having to acclimate to a new environment- so this is not ideal and I think it has lead to the plant degrading even more than I would expect from a plant arriving in the mail.When I was reporting I did notice that the roots were very thin and sparse- I’m not sure if this was because the cuttings had not rooted for long enough in the pot yet, or if the plant had previously had a case of root rot. Many of the strings of ‘pearls’ did not want to stay in the pot at all because they weren’t fully rooted into the pot initially.I did have a few broken strands in transit, but overall it was well packaged and not difficult to untangle. The strands are not particularly long, I would say the longest strand is about 35cm.(The hanging pot photographed is not the pot that I received the plant in- I swapped this out for a pot with a few more drainage holes to give it a better change of survival, though I’m sure the original pot would have been just fine if the soil was better.)

Part of house warming present. Nice shape for a hanging basket with a good pot too.

It wasn’t in good condition when it arrived but I thought that’s because it has travelled and been sealed tightly inside a cardboard box and not sure how long it had been like that, but after a couple of weeks I thought I might be lucky with some tender love and care it would perk up but as you can see from the photo it is going mouldy inside. Certainly not value for money I wouldn’t buy a plant again online it had been expensive way to find out as I bought several other ones too from the same company and they were all very stressed looking when they arrived. I will go to a garden centre and handpick for myself.

I didn't read the reviews before I ordered these. So I was a little worried when I saw all the negative comments.I needn't have been concerned, my two plants arrived in great condition carefully packed and not overwatered.

This plant arrived in a fairly battered state, although internally it was well preserved. There were minimal instructions on how to care for it and it died - despite our best efforts within 2 weeks.Very disappointed considering the pricing and have received plants by mail before which have arrived well preserved and flourished. Very disappointed as this was a gift and a beautiful plant.

I bought these to replace my last lot that didn’t survive the postage (not from this seller). I over watered the plant and it’s not happy but now that I have read the watering instructions (note to self - don’t be an idiot) I now know to water when the buds begin to collapse their shape and it’s already looking better.This plant was amazing when it arrived. Really healthy and thick. Fingers crossed it will be again.My tip? Read up about plant care 😉
