Senecio Radicans String Of Fishhooks

If you want an easy-care plant that trails like crazy and brings a lush green feel to a room, then call off the search – you’ve found it! The Fishhooks Senecio likes to ramble and drape. A silvery green hanging plant famous for its unique banana-like foliage. The vines can reach over 2m  or longer and will flower with beautiful fluffy looking blooms in the warmer months..  This succulent loves any admiration you can throw its way but is not fussy at all when it comes to caring. You can  keep it inside year round or let it hang outside during warmer months to soak up the warmth and light, either way this beautiful plant will keep trailing and trailing with ease.

Position:

Indoors it likes to live in a bright spot, like near a south or west facing window. Just be sure to keep it away from hot glass or prolonged exposure to hot summer sun because it’ll burn.

Water:

Water every 3-6 weeks depending on the season and how hot and dry your home is. It’s good to let it almost thoroughly dry out between watering. No matter the frequency, you want to thoroughly water the plant and make sure all the water drains out. So using well draining soil is recommended. 

Feed:

Feed monthly during the spring and summer with a water-soluble plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength - Use our organic seaweed fertiliser for best results. 

Humidity:

Normal room humidity is fine however, we recommend you can use a humidity tray, half-filled with water, then place your plant pot on top. Top up the water if necessary when watering your plant. Make sure the water level stays below the top of the pebbles/Leca balls so the plant roots can breathe. The humidity from the tray will keep the leaves lush and the roots moist.

Soil:

Senecio likes to be relatively dry and rely on air moisture when soil has dried out, therefore a fast draining and very aerated soil mix is recommended - Use our succulent soil mix for best results.
