Senecio rowleyanus Family: AsteraceaeScientific Name: SeneciorowleyanusCommon Name: String-of-Beads, String-of-Peas, String-of-Pearls
Description: String of Beads, String of Peas, String of Pearls, String of Marbles
Plant type: Succulents
Sunlight: bright to direct, if the plant is grown in lower light conditions the leaves will be smaller and the internodes longer
Moisture: dry out between watering's
Soil & Site: well drained
Media: well drained, cactus and succulent mix
Temperature: Average house is preferred during the growing season.
Flowers: The flowers are: composite flowers lacking ray florets, small, white and have a strong cinnamon smell.
Foliage: The thin stems are lined with small spherical leaves of about 1/4 inch in diameter. Each leaf has a longitudinal translucent stripe. The stems will root at the nodes creating a mass of foliage hugging the surface. The stems will cascade over the side of a container.
Dimensions: Can easily reach 1-2 feet over the side of a container.
Maintenance: The plant will occasionally need to be cut back to rejuvenate the foliage of the pot. Also if the pot doesn't fill in pull back a few of the cascading stems and lay them on the surface of the soil. They will root at the nodes and fill in the bare soil.
Propagation: Sections of the stem can be laid on the media or tip cuttings can be rooted. A single leaf will root and form a small plant at the base.

SedumSedum is a genus of about 400 species of leaf succulents, from the old and new world in the northern hemisphere. They vary in habit from annual groundcovers to shrubs. Their flowers have 5 petals.
The cultivation requirements of the species are quite different. Some species are very cold resistant, but don't like heat. Some species are tropical and don't take any frost. Sedum don't do very well in Phoenix extreme heat. They lose their leaves and stay with increasingly naked stems until they decide to rot alltogether.
Sempervivum
Sempervivum contains over 40 species of rosette shaped succulents, native from Europe, eastern Asia, and northern Africa. They are among the most frost resistant succulents, and as such are the most common succulent in gardens that get more than a light frost. Sempervivum comes from the Latine for 'always alive', referring to its toughness.
Sempervivums have characteristic star-shaped flowers that can be yellow, pink, red, white or green. The rosette that flowered dies after setting seeds. Rosettes are generally growing for several years before blooming.
