Senecio Herreianus "String of Tears" is a variegation of String of Pearls. It is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is a creeping, perennial, succulent vine native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa. In its natural environment, its stems trail on the ground, rooting where they touch and form dense mats.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Placement
- Keep in bright, indirect light.
- Avoid direct sunlight—it can overheat the terrarium.
- If placed in a dark area, use a grow light (6000K LED) for support.
Temperature
- Ideal range: 15-29°C (59-84°F).
- Terrariums can tolerate some fluctuations, but avoid placing them in extreme heat or freezing temperatures.
- Keep away from heaters, radiators, or air-conditioning vents to prevent sudden temperature changes.
Watering
- Closed terrariums only need watering once a year.
- If soil appears dry or moss feels crispy, lightly mist with distilled water.
- Avoid overwatering—condensation on the glass usually means it has enough moisture.
Optional
- Pruning: Trim overgrown plants to keep the terrarium tidy.
- Dead Leaves: Remove immediately to prevent mold.
