String of bananas

This is a very easy to grow plant. North, east or a west window will do just fine. And it will forgive you many errors.

Water as needed to keep from drying out totally.

Trim strands occasionally to keep it looking nice. Trimmed strands will easily root in water.

This is a succulent that is related to the ‘string of pearls’ plant.

It will occasionally flower, flowers are small and I’m told cinnamon scented.

I find that these hanging succulent type plants really love some organic fertilizer now and again.
