Peas)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Native to South Africa, these plants have become coveted for their beauty and versatility.They look good pretty much anywhere you stick them in and they add another dimension to your arrangement. From hanging baskets to little teacups, they can definitely grab people&rsquo;s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stems can grow up to 3ft (90cm) long and can be left hanging or trailing. When cut, the stems will split into two or more and keep on growing. The stems are lined with small, round, pea-like green leaves. These plants are not frost tolerant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Rowleyanus-String-of-Pearls-String-of-Peas.jpg\" alt=\"Senecio Rowleyanus (String of Pearls, String of Peas) \" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Rowleyanus-String-of-Pearls-String-of-Peas.jpg\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Rowleyanus-String-of-Pearls-String-of-Peas.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Senecio Rowleyanus (String of Pearls, String of Peas) \" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Rowleyanus-String-of-Pearls-String-of-Peas.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Caring for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/7-tips-about-string-of-pearls-plant-senecio-rowleyanus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">String of Pearls<\/a>&nbsp;can be easy once you figure these guys out. Like other succulent plants, they need a well draining soil. Established plants need less water than younger plants. Water only when the soil is dry, but do not let the soil dry out completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They need bright but indirect sunlight and need to be protected from intense afternoon sun. They do well in a partially shaded area, or in planters shaded by other taller plants. They produce these fuzzy white flowers that have a sweet, vanilla scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Senecio Herreianus (String of Beads)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are very similar to the more common Senecio Rowleyanus (String of Pearls). The difference is in the shape of the green leaves. These have a more pointed and oval shaped leaves, rather than round ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stems can grow up to 3ft (90cm) long. Cut stems can be propagated and root fairly easily. The cut part splits and will keep on growing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These plants look great in hanging baskets but can also be planted in-ground as ground cover. When planted in-ground, they creep and drape the soil. They need to be protected from frost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Herreianus-String-of-Beads.jpg\" alt=\"Senecio Herreianus (String of Beads)\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Herreianus-String-of-Beads.jpg\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Herreianus-String-of-Beads.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Senecio Herreianus (String of Beads)\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Herreianus-String-of-Beads.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Established plants are drought tolerant. They need a well draining soil. Water when the soil is dry. Place in a partially shaded area, away from intense afternoon sun. They produce white fuzzy flowers that smell like vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Senecio Radicans (String of Bananas)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Native to South Africa, these are fast growing plants with stems that can reach 3ft (90cm) long. They have green leaves that are shaped like mini green bananas. They produce little white, yellow or lavender fuzzy flowers similar to String of Pearls that have a sweet cinnamon scent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stems can be cut and propagated. Cut stems split into two or more and continue to grow. These are hardy plants that can be grown as vines or cascading down a tall planter or a hanging planter..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find these plants easier and hardier than the String of Pearls plant. Water when the soil is dry. Provide a well draining soil and protect from extreme afternoon sun and frost. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Radican-2String-of-Bananas.jpg\" alt=\"Senecio Radicans (String of Bananas)\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Radican-2String-of-Bananas.jpg\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Radican-2String-of-Bananas.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Senecio Radicans (String of Bananas)\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Senecio-Radican-2String-of-Bananas.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fish Hook Senecio or Grey Fishhooks Senecio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are very similar to String of Bananas and they are sometimes referred to by the same names, which can add to the confusion.

They produce flowers that are fragrant and sweet-smelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"483\" height=\"478\" data-pin-description=\"Sedum Burrito or Burro's Tail or Baby Donkey Tail\" data-pin-title=\"Sedum Burrito or Burro's Tail or Baby Donkey Tail\" src=\"\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail.jpg\" alt=\"Sedum Burrito or Burro's Tail or Baby Donkey Tail\" class=\"wp-image-4721\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail.jpg 483w, https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail-335x332.jpg 335w, https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail-347x343.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" data-pin-media=\"\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail.jpg\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"483\" height=\"478\" data-pin-description=\"Sedum Burrito or Burro's Tail or Baby Donkey Tail\" data-pin-title=\"Sedum Burrito or Burro's Tail or Baby Donkey Tail\" src=\"\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail.jpg\" alt=\"Sedum Burrito or Burro's Tail or Baby Donkey Tail\" class=\"wp-image-4721 lazyload\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail.jpg 483w, https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail-335x332.jpg 335w, https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail-347x343.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" data-pin-media=\"\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sedum-Burrito-Burros-Tail.jpg\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once established, these plants are easy to grow.

ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are succulents good hanging plants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy looking at hanging or trailing plants. Hanging plants are such a joy to cultivate and grow as they enhance the garden feel of your private garden. The question is are succulents good hanging plants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many succulents are good hanging plants but many don&rsquo;t hang nor trail. String of Pearls, String of Banana, String of Dolphins, Variegated Portulacaria Afra, and some Sedums species are good hanging succulent plants. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you care for a hanging succulent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking care of hanging succulents isn&rsquo;t too difficult, there are a few important tips you should know about taking care of hanging succulents to make sure they don&rsquo;t die on your watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a general rule, hanging succulents have thinner branches. If you left them under extreme sunlight they could easily dry out. Also, you don&rsquo;t need too much soil for hanging succulents most of them have thin roots so use appropriate pot sizes. And finally, water when the soil feels dry they die mostly from overwatering.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What succulents are best for hanging baskets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many succulents that could work well in hanging baskets. But not all succulents are suitable for hanging baskets. Succulents with thin stems that don&rsquo;t stand upright are good candidates for hanging baskets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Succulents best for hanging baskets are string of pearls, string of dolphin, string of banana, variegated portulacaria afra and string of buttons are some of the best succulents for hanging baskets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where do you hang hanging succulents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most species of succulents that hang are the ones that are not very fond of direct sunlight. This means you need to be careful where you hanging your succulents to avoid killing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a rule of thumb, hang your hanging succulents by a bright window without direct hot sun light. If you live in a place where your morning sun is warm but not hot, east facing window should work just fine. However, if you live at a location where the sun can be extremely hot, you might need to hang them by window that don&rsquo;t get direct sun light.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/hangtrail.jpg\" alt=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/hangtrail.jpg\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/hangtrail.jpg.webp\" alt=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" title=\"14 Cacti and Succulents that Hang or Trail (With Pictures)\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/succulentplantcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/hangtrail.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-18\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Succulents that hang or trail seem to be growing more and more in popularity.
