{"product_id":"string-of-watermelons-curio-herreanus-trailing-succulent","title":"String of Watermelons – Curio herreanus – Trailing Succulent","description":"\u003cp\u003eBring a bit of whimsy to your plant collection with this adorable String of Watermelons (Curio herreanus, formerly Senecio herreanus), a trailing succulent known for its plump, oval leaves striped like tiny watermelons. Each vine spills gracefully over the pot, making it a perfect choice for hanging baskets, high shelves, and plant walls.\u003cbr\u003eThis species is fast-growing in bright light and can quickly turn into a lush, cascading display with the right care. Its bead-like leaves store water, so it is more forgiving of occasional missed waterings than many leafy houseplants. As with other “string of” succulents, it thrives when allowed to dry slightly between waterings and when planted in a chunky, well-draining mix.\u003cbr\u003eAt The Accidental Plant Shop, your plant is carefully selected for health and form, then packed securely to handle the journey to its new home. Each order includes basic care notes so you (or your customer) can keep this cutie thriving from day one.\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003eHighlights \/ key features\u003cbr\u003e• Botanical name: Curio herreanus (syn.
