10 Outdoor Hanging Plants You’ll Wish You Knew Sooner

4. String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)

Delicate String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus), unique "outdoor hanging plants," shown cascading from a simple pot, likely on a porch or patio, with a blurred green background.

If you’ve ever looked at a plant and thought, “Now that’s different,” then you’re gonna love the String of Pearls.

I got mine on a whim after seeing it in someone’s bohemian living room setup on Instagram — and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. It’s quirky, a little weird, and totally eye-catching.

Those Bead-Like Leaves? Totally Addicting to Touch

Seriously, the texture of this plant is just… satisfying. The bead-like leaves look like tiny green pearls strung together, and they trail down like a curtain of jewels.

I catch myself playing with them all the time — rolling a bead between my fingers like it’s some kind of zen stress ball. If you’re into unique indoor plants or love adding texture to your space, this one’s a must-have.

Sunlight Junkie (But Don’t Overwater!)

Here’s the thing: this little guy loves bright, indirect light — like it’s trying to tan its beads. I keep mine near a west-facing window and it’s thriving. But! Don’t make the mistake I did early on — overwatering = sad pearls.

Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Seriously, I’ve gone two weeks without watering mine and it barely blinked. Low maintenance but high drama? Yes please.

Eclectic Decor’s New Best Friend

I styled mine in a macramé hanger next to some rattan baskets and a thrifted mirror — and wow, did it tie the whole space together.

The String of Pearls is perfect for that eclectic boho look, especially if you’re into mixing textures and going against the minimalist grain. It also looks killer in hanging displays, layered with other trailing plants, or even spilling from a floating shelf.

So Instagrammable, It Should Have Its Own Hashtag

Let’s be real — part of the fun is how good this plant looks in photos. I took a pic of mine backlit by the afternoon sun and got more likes than I have in months. 🤳

Whether it’s draped over a mirror, hanging above a record player, or peeking out from your coffee table, this plant adds instant vibe. And if you’re into plant-based content creation, this one should definitely be in your feed.
