String-of-bananas (Senecio Radicans) is a popular trailing succulent with distinctive banana or fishhook-shaped leaves that create stunning cascading displays in hanging baskets or containers. This fast-growing indigenous succulent makes an excellent groundcover when planted in well-drained garden soil, where it will trail attractively along the ground and spread to form attractive mats. Perfect for adding textural interest to vertical gardens, hanging displays, or as spilling accents in mixed container plantings. Plant 30-40cm apart when using as groundcover or allow individual plants to cascade naturally from hanging baskets and elevated planters. Feed monthly during growing season with diluted succulent fertilizer, ensuring excellent drainage and allowing soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot in this water-wise indigenous beauty.
