Variegated String of Tears (scientific name: Senecio herreanus ‘Variegatus’ or Curio herreanus ‘Variegatus’) is a rare and attractive trailing succulent known for its beautiful teardrop-shaped leaves with creamy white, pink, and green streaks. It’s closely related to the String of Pearls and String of Bananas, but its leaves are slightly elongated and pointed—resembling tiny tears or raindrops. 🌿

Here’s a full explanation and care guide:


🌸 Appearance

  • Leaves: Small, fleshy, and shaped like teardrops with transparent “windows” that allow sunlight to enter for photosynthesis.
  • Variegation: The leaves display mixed colors—green with streaks of white, cream, or pink, especially when exposed to bright light.
  • Stems: Thin, trailing, and can grow long, making it ideal for hanging baskets.
  • Flowers: Produces small, white, cinnamon-scented, daisy-like flowers, typically in spring or summer.

🌞 Light Requirements

  • Prefers bright, indirect sunlight.
  • Can tolerate some direct morning sun, which enhances pink variegation.
  • Avoid harsh afternoon sun—it can burn the delicate variegated leaves.

💧 Watering

  • Water sparingly — only when the soil is completely dry.
  • Overwatering can easily cause root rot, which is the most common issue.
  • Use the “soak and dry” method: water thoroughly, then let it dry out completely before watering again.

🌿 Soil

  • Needs well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
  • You can improve drainage by adding perlite or pumice.

🌡️ Temperature

  • Thrives in 18–27°C (65–80°F).
  • Protect from frost — bring indoors during winter if temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F).

🌬️ Humidity

  • Prefers low to moderate humidity.
  • Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

🌱 Propagation

  • Easily propagated from stem cuttings.
  • Let the cut end dry for a day or two, then place it on moist succulent soil. Roots form within a few weeks.

🌺 Uses
  • Perfect for hanging pots, shelves, or terrariums where its trailing vines can cascade beautifully.
  • Adds a soft, pastel touch to any succulent collection.
