6" Hanging String Of Pearls

$ 25.00

 

Curio rowleyanus receives its common name from specialized leaves which are the size and shape of small peas (about 6 mm or 14 inch diameter).Its trailing stems can grow 2–3 feet (60–90 cm). There is a small tip at the distal point of each leaf and a thin band of dark green tissue on the side known as a "window" (see below). It blooms during the summer and, like all asterids, it has a compound flower. The trumpet shaped flower forms clusters (about 13mm or 12 inch diameter) of small white flowers with colorful stamens. The flower will last about a month and is said to smell like cinnamon and other spices.

***PLANTS ARE ONLY SHIPPED ON MON, TUES & WEDS. If you place an order on Thursday, it will not be shipped till the following Monday. This gives the plant the best chance of survival during the shipping process 

We do our best to protect the plant during the shipping process, but usually plants will get shaken up on their way to you. We don't have control over this and we cannot offer refunds for this reason. Our plants are all pretty resilient and will perk up in a few days with some TLC.
