I am a trailing succulent with curved, hook-like leaves. My cascading stems make me ideal for hanging baskets and decorative displays.

Native to South Africa, I belong to the Asteraceae family. I am closely related to String of Pearls and String of Bananas.

I require watering every 2 weeks during the growing season. In winter, reduce watering. Overwatering causes root rot.

I thrive in bright, indirect light. Outdoors, I prefer partial sun. Indoors, a sunny window keeps me healthy.

I flourish in warm climates between 20–30°C. I am sensitive to frost and must be protected in winter.

Plant me in well-draining succulent soil. Hanging baskets or tall pots highlight my trailing habit.

Feed me lightly with cactus fertilizer once in spring. Too much fertilizer weakens my growth.

Botanical name: Senecio radicans. Family: Asteraceae. Common names: Fishhook Plant, String of Fishhooks.

I am mildly toxic to pets if ingested, causing stomach upset. Keep me out of reach of cats and dogs.

Low; my primary value is ornamental.

I provide ornamental beauty, unique trailing foliage, and easy care.

Overwatering leads to root rot. Pests like mealybugs may attack in humid conditions.

I can live for many years with proper care, continuously producing new trailing stems.
