This member of the Asteraceae family is a tender perennial succulent desired for its creeping stems and attractive, tear-shaped foliage. The plant?s genus name, Senecio (sen-NEESH-shee-oh) is Latin and means ?old man?. This is a reference to the hairy aspects of the blooms. The specific epithet, herreianus (her-ray-ee-AY-nus) honors botanist, Hans Herre, who was an expert on the topic of South African succulents. Common names for this plant include: Size Growth The String of Tears is typically a low growing, trailing plant. Stems may attain a length of one foot in ideal circumstances. The String of Tears has trailing stems ranging in shade from green to purple. The stems are fairly stiff and can grow to be more than a foot long. They have a trailing or creeping growth habit depending upon how they?re planted. The leaf shape is of a teardrop or raindrop. They are equipped with clear leaf windows allowing more light to get in. When you peek in the window, you will see the interior of the leaf has very fine purple stripes. When the plant is grown in bright sunlight, the purple hues of the stems and leaves will become darker. Flowering Fragrance Senecio herreianus String of Tears produces cinnamon-scented, trumpet-shaped white flowers during the spring and summer. Light Temperature The String of Tears does best in partial shade or indirect bright light rather than in the full direct sunlight. As a houseplant, it does well in an east-facing or west-facing sunny window. If you?re growing the plant outdoors, you should bring it in before the cold months of winter. Alternately, if you?re growing it as a groundcover, take cuttings to keep indoor plants as houseplants and return them to the outdoors when winter is over. This plant is winter hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9b-11b. Watering Feeding All plants of this type are adapted to live in fairly arid environments. They are able to store water in their stems and leaves for long periods of time. Water as you would any trailing succulent or cacti sedum. Wait until the soil is almost entirely dry and then water very deeply. Allow water to run through the soil and out of the drainage hole of the container. Fertilize these succulents once a year during the summer. Use a weak solution of a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
