Curio Herreanus is native to Namibia and was formerly known as Senecio String of Tears, String of Beads or String of Raindrops. They are lined with translucent leaf windows that help the plant absorb more sunlight. When growing in bright sunlight (not under direct sun), the leaves are plum and stronger. Their grow habit is trailing and will make a perfect hanging basket plant.
