Burro's Tail
IntermediateVariegated variety of String of Pearls. White to cream variegation creates a more gorgeous impression.
Variegated String of Pearls (Curio rowleyanus f. variegata) is a rare cultivated form of the popular String of Pearls, featuring spherical leaves patterned with white to cream variegation. The reduced chlorophyll in variegated zones lowers photosynthetic capacity, resulting in slower growth than the species and greater sensitivity to intense light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it causes bleaching or scorching; bright indirect light is optimal. Watering must be conservative, with the soil allowed to dry completely between applications, as the plant is susceptible to root rot. The combination of trailing stems reaching 20–60 cm, the unusual bead-like leaf form, and the striking variegation makes this a sought-after collector specimen.
