You’ll literally go bananas with this stunning succulent. String of Bananas (Senecio radicans) is a hardy succulent plant that tolerates most conditions. It has white flowers that appear at various times of the year, with light green leaves that look just like bananas hanging from the stem. Perfect to flow over a bookshelf, windowsill or even in the office.
How to grow a string of bananas
- Choose a well-lit spot indoors or a full sun, protected position outdoors.
- Fill the pot with Yates Thrive Succulent & Cacti Potting Mix.
- Remove the plant from its container, try not to disturb the roots excessively. Give the foliage a light prune to encourage new shoots.
- Position the plant in the middle of the new pot. A hanging basket would be ideal. Fill in around the plant with potting mix and water in well.
