String of Tears – A Delicate Cascade of Teardrop-Shaped Beauty

Graceful and unique, String of Tears (Curio radicans) is a captivating succulent that brings both beauty and intrigue to any plant collection. Known for its long, trailing stems adorned with small, teardrop-shaped leaves, this plant creates a delicate cascade of greenery that hangs beautifully in containers, hanging baskets, or window boxes. The leaves are a soft green with a subtle translucent sheen, giving them a delicate and almost ethereal appearance.

During the growing season, String of Tears may produce small, star-shaped white flowers that add a charming touch to its cascading growth. While the flowers are modest, it’s the plant’s stunning foliage that truly steals the show, with its graceful and pendant-like form.

Native to South Africa, String of Tears thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It is highly drought-tolerant, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a low-maintenance succulent that requires little attention. This plant enjoys a dry environment and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

With its elegant trailing vines and unique leaf shape, String of Tears makes a perfect addition to any succulent or hanging plant collection, offering a gentle touch of beauty that adds texture and charm to your indoor space.
