Description

The listing, String of Pearls Senecio rowleyanus has ended.

Adorable, hard to find, succulent collectors plant ! Here is what Far Out Flora says about growing it.
If you ever see one, pick it up and run because it is one of the easiest exotic looking plants you can get. Senecio rowleyanus, otherwise known as String of Pearls, has succulent leaves that resemble peas strung together. Our plant below started as three tiny 3″ plants, and I can remember the first day they spilled over the side of the pot. Here are some stats so you can have success growing your own.

Uses
Hanging baskets, ground cover. Ideal for places where a cascading plant is required.
Care
Soil: Well drained soil.
Pruning: If the container does not fill in, pull back a few of the cascading stems and lay them on the surface of the soil. They will root at the nodes and fill in the bare soil.
Propagation: From herbaceous stem cuttings (let the cut end dry out first). A single leaf will root and form a small plant at the base. Propagate them in evenly moist soil, mist occasionally, and keep in filtered sunlight until they are growing. Auction is for one 6" string of pearls cutting.

How will you ship this to ensure it is not crushed or frost-bitten during shipping. (I live in the frozen Midwest.)

so sorry for you guys, I wrap them in bubble wrap, then again in a bubble wrap envelope (air is good insulation) . The post office said they aren't left out in unheated trucks over night or anything..but if it's -11 where you are...I'd suggest waiting till the next auction when your cold snap is over..just in case you don't watch the tracking and get it out of the mailbox the minute it lands !!! I hope your landscaping survives ! ggggeeeeessss will you lose bushes and roses and perennials???
