Question
This plant hangs long strings out of the pot on the plant all the way down it looks like tiny green beans . what is it??????
Hi Sandra
You have a 'String of Pearls' plant. I have not seen one in years! This is a type of a succulent therefore likes to dry out a bit between waterings. They need a good, bright, indirect light.
Be careful if you have pets or kids, this plant can be toxic. If by chance a child or dog/cat does chew on one of the 'pearls', call the poison center or vet for further info and tell them you have a 'Senecio rowleyanus'
