Curio

Curio is a succulent genus formerly classified under Senecio, now recognized for trailing or upright growth, drought tolerance, and striking blue-green or variegated foliage. Native to South Africa and Namibia, species like Curio rowleyanus (string of pearls), Curio radicans (string of bananas), and Curio herreanus (string of tears) are popular for hanging pots and semi-hydro setups. With their fleshy stems and unique leaf forms, Curio succulents thrive in bright indoor spots and well-draining substrates. Ideal for collectors and low-maintenance plant lovers.
