It has surely happened to you, while walking down the street, to notice this plant with its characteristic “ball” leaves on balconies and windows. If you didn’t know it before, let us introduce you to the rosary plant , a little-known but wonderful succulent plant. The rosary plant has its appearance as its main characteristic: its ball-shaped leaves grow in cascade, creating a very particular and beautiful effect. In this article, we offer you some tips to make the rosary plant leafy and abundant. The rosary plant , whose scientific name is Senecio Rowleyanus , is a succulent native to South Africa and, thanks to its resistance, is now widespread throughout the world. For the rosary plant to grow healthy and strong, and therefore full of leaves, it is important to follow these precautions: Location . The rosary plant must be positioned at the top, to have the freedom to grow downwards. It needs constant natural light, whether indoors or on the balcony. Do not place it in the shade or in partial shade, as it will die. If its leaves start to become dark or soft, it is time to put it in the sun. Temperature . The rosary plant needs a temperature between 16 and 25 ° C. A colder temperature can cause it to rot. Watering . Like all succulents, the rosary plant also suffers from excess water. The soil must always be moist, but without stagnant water. The first sign of a water shortage is a strange shape of the leaves. Fertilizer . Use a product with a low nitrogen content or the plant will weaken. The fertilizer must be rich in phosphorus and potassium.
