About This Botanical
Succulent 'String of Bananas'
A trailing succulent with banana-shaped, pale green leaves on long stems. It is easy to grow and suits hanging pots.
How to care for String of Bananas
- Light: bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sun is fine, but protect it from harsh afternoon sun. Low light makes growth pale and leggy.
- Water: let the soil dry fully before watering again. Overwatering is the most common cause of decline. Shriveled leaves mean it needs water; mushy stems mean rot.
- Temperature and humidity: 65 to 80°F. It does well in normal home humidity.
- Soil and pot: a well-draining mix, with perlite or sand added to regular potting mix, or a cactus mix.
