Curio herreanus

Common Name(s)/Synonym(s): String of Watermelons, Gooseberry Plant, Kleinia herreana, Senecio herreanus

Origin: Native to Namibia and South Africa. 

Description: A trailing succulent with egg-shaped leaves that are similar but larger and more elongated than that of Curio rowleyanus. The slender stems can grow over 30cm long, and roots at the nodes. Leaves are green, lined with fine dark green or purple stripes and translucent ‘windows.’ When exposed to bright sunlight the purple tones in the plant will deepen.

Care: They do best in partial shade and prefer a well draining soil with infrequent watering.
