After featuring the home of
Hannah and John I have had numerous emails about the hanging plant in the top picture. This plant is a succulent called Senecio rowleyanus aka String of Pearls.
The good news is they are really easy to look after as long as you have a nice sunny spot in your home. I live in England and even I manage to maintain one of these beauties. They are a little tricky to get hold of, I had to get one ordered in from a florist in my area, but they are really worth the effort as they look great..
thankyou, I was wondering what is was, too. In fact I was just watering my Chinese coin plant. I always think of you, because you showed it on your blog last year!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm really surprised to see you mention that they're easy to grow. I love house plants and I have quite a few and I think I generally do quite well with them . But this is the ONE plant that never thrives in my home. I have a couple right now that are just barely hanging on. I guess I'll have to keep experimenting with soils and locations.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and healthy plant. I have not seen one this large. Thanks for sharing

Those are just lovely. Unfortunately, I'm unable to look after anything alive, sometimes including myself as well.
ReplyDeleteI have made my self a DIY hanging plant, from paper and sets of string and it somewhat resembles this.
It works the job as a decoration, but It doesn't look alive enough to keep me content.
Exactly how "easy" are these to look after ? I have some sunny spots at home, but I'm so irregular with tending to my home, especially when I turn on writing mode, that I'm just not sure I can keep it alive.
Thanks for the name though, I'm going to make a bit of research in my free time.
Isn't this plant also referred to as Swedish Ivy? It looks very similar. I could always smell a sweet fragrance that others said they did not detect.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really pretty.

Have you seen a String of Hearts plant? They're lovely as they are, but when they get these little purple flowers, they look so neat. Love your blog!
