A “string of banana plant” refers to Senecio radicans (now Curio radicans), a trailing succulent known for its long stems with banana-shaped, translucent leaves and its ease of care. It’s a low-maintenance hanging succulent that thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, requiring infrequent, thorough watering and protection from frost. The plant is not frost-tolerant and is considered toxic if ingested, so it should be kept away from pets and children.
Care Requirements
- Light: String of Bananas needs bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sun can cause its leaves to burn.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent rot. The leaves store water, so they may look shriveled when the plant needs a soak.
- Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a succulent or cactus mix.
- Temperature: This plant is not frost-tolerant and requires warm weather year-round.
