Brief

Curio Radicans (Senecio radicans), commonly known as the “String of Bananas,” is a trailing succulent with cascading vines of small, banana-shaped leaves. This fast-growing plant is perfect for hanging baskets, allowing its lush green tendrils to spill gracefully over the edges. It produces tiny, white, cinnamon-scented flowers in the right conditions, adding to its charm. With its unique appearance and easy-care nature, Curio Radicans is a favorite among succulent lovers and indoor gardeners.

Care Tips:

1. Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Avoid too much shade, as it may lead to leggy growth.
2. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
3. Soil: Use well-draining succulent or cactus soil to prevent moisture retention.
4. Fertilization: Feed lightly with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
5. Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm temperatures (65-80°F or 18-27°C). Protect from frost, as it is not cold-hardy.
6. Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage fuller growth and maintain shape.
7. Propagation: Easily propagated by placing cuttings in dry soil and allowing them to root.

Curio Radicans is an eye-catching, easy-care plant that brings a touch of greenery to any space, making it a must-have for plant lovers!
