Monkey Tail (Senecio radicans), also known as String of Bananas, is a charming succulent valued for its trailing stems that resemble a monkey’s tail, adorned with clusters of small, banana-shaped leaves. Native to South Africa, this succulent thrives in well-drained soil and bright, indirect light. It produces tiny, tubular flowers that range in color from white to pinkish-purple, adding seasonal interest. Monkey Tail is popular for hanging baskets, where its cascading growth habit creates a graceful display. Easy to care for and drought-tolerant, it brings a touch of whimsy and natural beauty to indoor and outdoor spaces alike.
