Caring for a String of Tears (Senecio citriformis or Curio citriformis) involves understanding its succulent nature.

Here’s a breakdown of String of Tears (Senecio citriformis or Curio citriformis) key care tips:   

Light:

  • Bright, indirect light: It thrives in bright, filtered sunlight. Direct, intense sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves.   
  • Indoor placement: An east or west-facing window is often ideal.   
  • Outdoor placement: Partial shade is best, especially in hot climates.   

Watering:

  • Allow soil to dry: Like most succulents, It prefers to dry out between waterings.   
  • Prevent overwatering: Overwatering is the most common problem, leading to root rot.   
  • Watering frequency: This will vary depending on climate, temperature and humidity. Indoors you may need to water every 3 to 6 weeks.

Soil:

  • Well-draining soil: A succulent or cactus mix is essential. This allows excess water to drain away, preventing root rot.   

Temperature and Humidity:

  • Warm temperatures: It prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C).   
  • Avoid frost: It is not frost-tolerant.   
  • Average humidity: Normal indoor humidity is generally sufficient.

Fertilizing:

  • Light feeding: A diluted, balanced fertilizer can be applied during the growing season (spring and summer).   
  • Avoid winter feeding: Do not fertilize during the dormant winter months.

Propagation:

  • Stem cuttings: String of Tears is easily propagated from stem cuttings.   

Potential Problems:

  • Root rot: Caused by overwatering.   
  • Mealybugs and spider mites: Potential pests, especially indoors.   
  • Sunburn: From too much direct sunlight.   

Key Considerations:

  • The most important factor in keeping this succulent healthy is to avoid overwatering.
  • Providing proper drainage is essential.   
  • Adequate light is also very important.
