String of Needles

Senecio 'String of Needles', also known as Ceropegia linearis, is a captivating succulent that hails from South Africa.This unique trailing succulent is beloved for its delicate, needle-like foliage and easy-going nature, making it a popular choice for hanging baskets, terrariums, or cascading over walls.

Key Characteristics:

• Delicate Needle-Like Leaves: The most distinctive feature of this succulent is its long, slender stems adorned with small, needle-like leaves. The leaves are typically green or grayish-green, adding a touch of elegance and texture to any space.
• Trailing Growth Habit: This plant has a trailing or creeping growth habit, with stems that can reach several feet in length. Its graceful cascading form makes it an ideal choice for hanging displays or spilling over the edges of containers.

Ideal Growing Conditions:

• Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially during the cooler months, but excessive exposure may scorch its delicate leaves. Providing some afternoon shade is beneficial in the hot Sri Lankan climate.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent root rot and ensure healthy growth.

Landscaping Uses:

• Hanging Baskets: Its trailing habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, allowing its delicate stems to cascade freely.
• Ground Cover: In warmer climates, it can be used as a ground cover in well-draining soil, creating a unique and textural carpet of greenery.
