String of Tears or Bananas
Senecio herreanus or Senecio radicans
- Phenomenal trailing succulent with slender, string-like stems that can grow over a foot long
- Teardrop-shaped leaves line green to purple stems and have a crescent of translucent "leaf window" to let sunlight in
- Stylish houseplant that grows into an eye-catching cascade when planted in a hanging pot near a sunny window
- Thrives in gritty soil but likes more frequent water than most succulents (when soil is dry and the leaves start to wrinkle)
Hardy to 30°F (Zone 10)
