Description

Charming, Trailing String of Footballs on Trellis

Discover the Curio herreanus formerly know as Senecio herreianus and commonly known as the String of Footballs, Variegated String of Footballs, or Ant Plant in South Africa, a delightful houseplant with cascading, succulent-like leaves that form a lush, trailing display.
Its small, elliptic, and often variegated leaves create a unique, textured look, perfect for hanging baskets or trellises.
This tropical epiphyte, native to the Philippines, is a low-maintenance gem that adds a touch of exotic charm to any indoor space.
Why Choose String of Footballs?
  • Unique Foliage: Small, rounded leaves create a cascading, football-like effect.
  • Low Maintenance: Thrives with minimal care, ideal for beginners.
  • Versatile Growth: Perfect for hanging baskets or climbing on supports.
  • Pet Caution: Toxic to pets, so keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
Care Tips
  • Light: Prefers medium to bright indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
  • Water: Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the well-draining soil or medium to dry out completely; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Size: Stems can grow from 15 cm to over 1 meter, ideal for hanging or trailing displays.

What would you like to see:

To ensure fresh and healthy plants we follow a strict weekly shipping schedule: 

Mondays: We prepare plants for shipping! This means wrapping the soil, adding plant sleeves, and one last pre-travel watering. 
Tuesdays: We wake up bright and early to get all plants carefully packaged for shipping in the morning, in the afternoon we hand over plants with the longest travel ahead of them to our courier partners (this means Eastern, Western and Northern Cape)
Wednesdays: If there are any plants that did not fit in the Tuesday truck, they travel in the second batch on a Wednesday. 
Thursdays and Fridays: No plants are shipped, we carefully monitor all the travelling plant babies to ensure they arrive safely at their new homes ! 

Why do we do this? 

Our shipping schedule works this way to ensure that your plants are less likely to spend a weekend in the courier depot ! Our shipping schedule is designed this way to ensure that your plants are fresh and healthy, for this same reason we do not like keeping stock for extended periods of time which means that stock received on Thursdays and Fridays will only be shipped the following week.
