The Senecio String of Bananas is a striking hanging plant native to South Africa, Lesotho, and Namibia. Its long stems are adorned with banana-shaped leaves, each with a translucent crescent for light. Blooming from October to December, it produces clusters of tiny, cinnamon-scented white flowers. Ideal for trailing arrangements, it adds a unique touch to succulent displays.
- Native to: South Africa
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent, susceptible to frost
- Zone: Suitable for zones 10
- Recommended light conditions: Partial Sun
- Bloomtime: Winter
- Bloom Color: White
Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with small amounts of water throughout the week, it is advisable to thoroughly soak the soil until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure that any excess water in the saucer is discarded, as succulents prefer not to sit in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors: During the summer, water your succulents every two weeks by giving them a deep soak and allowing the soil to dry before watering again. In the winter, watering once a month is sufficient.
