Curio radicans

Succulent Plant, String of Bananas

$54.00 USD

String of bananas, or Curio radicans (aka Senecio radicans), is a trailing succulent native to South Africa. It’s often also called banana vine and grows smaller but similar shaped leaves to the string of fishhooks.

The plant grows from weak surface roots, producing trailing stems up to three feet long on the ground which can root where they touch soil to form dense mats. It often grows under bushes or between rocks which provide some protection from intense sunlight.

Available in 6" hanging basket, tendrils are approximately 3-4' long

This plant is also identified as Senecio radicans but was reclassified into the Curio family.
