Summary
Senecio radicans—most commonly known as String-of-Fishhooks, and sometimes referred to as Fishhooks Senecio and The Fish Hook Plant—is a low-growing perennial succulent vine that's best known for its lovely cascading growth habit, and foliage that resembles the shape of a hook!
Often described as inconspicuous, String-of-Fishhooks is known to irregularly produce beautiful, small, pompom shaped whitish orange flowers throughout spring and summer. The flowers often last for about a month, and have colorful stamens and a wonderful spicy cinnamon scent.
Senecio Fishhooks is a low-maintenance succulent plant that may be used as a sprawling, mat-forming groundcover in tropical climates, or as an indoor and patio plant in cooler climates. Its sprawling and hanging growth habits make it perfect for hanging baskets or when planted outside next to a wall or ledge.
Care
String of Fishhooks Care
Senecio radicans is considered easy to care for and does not require lots of attention or maintenance.
Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. Do not overwater! Its ideal soil is semi-dry to semi-moist, rich, and well draining. Sandy and gravel filled soils are also a favorite. Avoid planting in areas that are known to hold water or flood. Allow soil to dry out between watering sessions.
It often does great when grown in either full or partial sun. Strong, direct sun; however, may burn and damage its delicate leaves. Too little sun will cause negative growth issues. We suggest attempting to place it somewhere where it will get strong, indirect sun; or morning sun that's paired with afternoon shade.
Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your plant well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar. Do not overfertilize!
