Identifying a Cascading "Fish Hook" Succulent: Likely Senecio or Othonna

Probable Candidates

• Senecio radicans (String of Bananas): Curved, banana-shaped leaves on trailing stems.
• Senecio rowleyanus (String of Pearls): Spherical leaves.
• Othonna capensis (Ruby Necklace): Bean-shaped leaves, purple stems.
• Curio herreanus (String of Watermelons): Striped, teardrop leaves.

Why Photo ID Is Essential

Leaf shape, spacing, stem color, and growth habit distinguish these similar trailing succulents. Text descriptions are insufficient.

General Care While Awaiting ID

• Bright indirect light (east/west window).
• Water when soil dry (stick test).
• Fast-draining soil (cactus mix + extra perlite).
• Protect below 40°F.
• No direct sun unless previously acclimated.

Action: Email clear photos (whole plant + close-up of leaves) to expert or post on succulent ID forum.
