If you’re looking for a unique, fast-growing plant to add to your indoor or outdoor garden, Senecio radicans -The String of Bananas - is a great option! This succulent vine is native to South Africa and gets its name from its long, banana-shaped leaves. Over time, your String of Bananas will grow long vines that can reach up to 3 metres in length! Tiny, white, cinnamon-scented flowers appear in late winter or early spring. String of Bananas is easy to care for and propagate, but it is poisonous to pets and humans if ingested, so take care when placing it in your home.
Soil: Place it in a pot filled with well-draining soil. Water lightly and keep the soil moist until new roots have formed and the plant has established itself in its new pot.
Conditions: It prefers bright indirect sunlight but can tolerate some shade. If the leaves start to look pale green or yellow, that means it’s getting too much sun and you should move it to a shadier spot.
Size: Height 90cm x width 20cm
