Start Your Plant Mom Era with These 10 Hanging Beauties

4. String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)

Let me tell you about my favorite little drama queen in the plant world—the String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus). This isn’t your average hanging plant; it’s got serious boho vibes and a look that’s totally unique.

Those tiny, round leaves dangle like little emerald beads, and when they catch the light? ✨Magic happens.

The Boho Beauty That Makes a Statement

I first fell in love with this plant while scrolling through someone’s dreamy home office setup on Instagram. It was draped over a floating shelf, spilling down like a living curtain. I had to have one. And let me tell ya, it delivers on the visual wow factor.

It’s perfect if you’re into creating a statement wall of hanging succulents or want something different from the usual pothos and spider plants. I hung mine near my west-facing window and—boom—instant bohemian jungle corner in my living room.

Low Water, High Style 🌞💧

Now, don’t let its delicate look fool you—String of Pearls is still a succulent, which means it hates being overwatered. In fact, I killed my first one because I treated it like a regular hanging plant. Rookie mistake.

Here’s what I learned:

• Needs bright, indirect light – direct sun can scorch those pearls
• Only water when the soil is totally dry—like bone dry
• Prefers fast-draining soil—don’t trap moisture in there

Once you get the watering thing figured out, it’ll thrive for ages. Just give it space to trail and enjoy the texture it brings to your plant-filled nook.

How to Rock the Boho Look with String of Pearls

This beauty pairs so well with other low-water hanging plants like String of Bananas or Burro’s Tail. I created a whole mini succulent wall using mismatched macramé hangers and woven baskets—super easy, super Insta-worthy.

If you’re into textured greenery, love bohemian decor, or just want something that looks fancy without the high maintenance, the String of Pearls is a must-have in your collection.
