Unique rounded, pea-sized leaves are an adaption to the hot, dry climates of its native southwest Africa where it grows as a dense creeping groundcover, rooting as it spreads. Indoors in our temperate climates, it will spill luxuriantly from a hanging basket or planter placed on a shelf.

Tends to prefer slightly more water and shade than other succulents. White, clove-scented flowers may appear in the fall. Charming and tactile, but be careful: toxic to humans and pets and sap may cause skin irritation. Curio rowleyanus syn Senecio rowleyanus
