Senecio Radicans ‘String of Bananas’

Caring for a string of bananas (Senecio radicans) involves the following key points:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate some direct sun, but too much can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water less in the winter, as the plant enters dormancy.
3. Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
4. Temperature: Keep in a warm environment, ideally between 70-80°F (21-27°C). 
5. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every few weeks.
6. Pruning: Remove any dead or damaged leaves to promote growth.
7. Pests: Watch for common pests like mealybugs or spider mites and treat them promptly.

With proper care, your string of bananas can thrive and produce beautiful, trailing vines.
