Curio herreanus (formerly Senecio herreanus) is a trailing succulent with rounded, bead-like leaves marked with dark green striping that resembles tiny watermelons. Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, can be found growing under shrubs in the wild so dappled light is perfect. Water more often during hotter months.
