Golden spider / Pendentus in 5 inch nursery bag

The Golden Spider (also known as Pendentus or String of Bananas) is a cascading succulent that belongs to the Crassulaceae family. Its long, trailing stems are covered in small, banana-shaped leaves that are typically a vibrant green or golden color when exposed to sunlight. This plant is often used as an ornamental hanging plant or in containers, where its cascading growth creates a stunning, dramatic effect.

Benefits:

• Aesthetic Appeal: The trailing vines and unique, banana-shaped leaves make the Golden Spider a beautiful addition to hanging baskets, window boxes, or indoor plant displays.
• Low Maintenance: It’s a hardy plant that requires minimal care, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
• Air Purification: Like other succulents, it helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
• Drought Tolerant: Golden Spider plants are highly drought-resistant, requiring less frequent watering compared to many other plants.

Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate some direct sunlight. The more sunlight it receives, the more vibrant its golden hue will become.
• Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
• Soil: Requires well-draining, sandy or cactus-specific soil. A pot with drainage holes is essential to prevent waterlogging.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so protect it from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Enjoys low to moderate humidity, making it ideal for dry indoor environments.
• Pruning: Trim any overgrown or dead stems to encourage new growth and maintain its shape.

The Golden Spider plant is a striking, easy-care succulent that adds a touch of elegance to your home or garden. Its cascading vines and vibrant colors make it perfect for adding visual interest to hanging planters or as a charming addition to your plant collection.
