Introducing the stunning string of fishhooks, scientifically known as Senecio radicans glauca, which is a trailing succulent variety of the Senecio radicans.

The fish hook plant, also known as the blue pickle vine, is a hybrid trailing succulent that belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to South Africa. The name "string of fish hook" comes from its distinctive appearance, as its leaves resemble tiny fishhooks. 


This fishhook Senecio plant features long, slender stems that cascade down, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or trailing down from shelves.

The stems are covered in small, cylindrical leaves that grow in pairs along the stems.

When the fishhooks plant has the proper growing conditions it grows very quickly and can get up to 32 feet tall. Whether you grow Fishhooks Senecio indoors or out, just make sure you give it room to trail!

The flowers of a string of fishhooks bloom from late summer to winter with daisy-like flowers. These delicate blooms are typically a creamy white or pale-yellow color and appear sporadically. While the Senecio flowers are not the main attraction of this hanging plant, they add a lovely touch when they do appear.

Most sites mix up the string of fishhook and string of bananas plants, but the glauca fishhook differs from the string of bananas (Senecio radicans) by having smaller, cylindrical leaves resembling fishhooks and a bluish-green color, whereas the string of bananas has elongated, banana-shaped leaves and a bright green color. Furthermore, the shape of 'Hooks' is longer and flatter than that of the string of bananas, which is rounded with a plump shape.

The Senecio radicans glauca fish hooks can be propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. This fish hook plant is not frost-hardy and winter-dormant. Avoid placing it directly under ACs, as it may cause leaves to droop. The fish hook plant looks best in hanging baskets as well as pots hung on walls. These can be grown in the driveway too. 

Watering Needs 

Succulents, like the Senecio Fish Hook plant, are excellent at withstanding drought or drought-tolerant fish hook plants. That's because the foliage of these succulent plants has the capacity to store water. Their leaves will explode if the soil is excessively wet or if you give them too much water.

Therefore, you typically only need to let the roots completely dry before watering them again. Watering them before they are completely dry can cause the roots to soak up water, which is bad because they are particularly prone to rotting. When your string of fishhook plants and roots get mushy, you'll recognize that something is wrong. 

If you notice the leaves trimming or wrinkling, this indicates that your Senecio plant needs to be watered. You ought to water these plants once every two weeks or so during the height of their growing season. 

You can dramatically cut back on that in the winter and only do it once a month. It's important to check the moisture level of the soil by sticking your finger about an inch deep into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days before watering. 

Light Requirements

The glauca string of fishhooks prefers bright, indirect sunlight. If you are growing his hanging plant indoors it thrives when placed near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit area of your home. Remember to rotate the fish hooks plant occasionally to ensure all sides receive adequate light for even growth.

When outdoors, ensure light shade and full sun indoors. Avoid exposing your fishhook plant to direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to burn.

If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming pale, it might indicate that the Senecio plant is not receiving enough light, so you can try moving it to a brighter location. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The fishhook plant prefers well-draining soil. A good option is a succulent potting mix, which provides the right balance of moisture retention and drainage. You can also create your own potting mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or pumice to improve drainage.

Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soilGo to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your string of fishhook Senecios thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing, these fishhook plants don't require heavy feeding. A balanced (5-10-5) natural NPK fertilizer can be applied once a year during the growing season of spring. It's important not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil and damage your fishhook succulent.

If the leaves start turning yellow or the Senecio succulent appears unhealthy, it may be a sign of over-fertilization, so it's best to reduce or stop fertilizing until the Senecio plant recovers.

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, they prefer temperatures between 60-80°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. They become mushy when exposed to chilly temperatures for too long. So, throughout the winter, you should bring the pots indoors. If the air in your home is particularly dry, you can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plants or using a humidifier.

For outdoor cultivation, your fishhook plant is generally suitable for USDA hardiness zones 10-12. Like many other succulents, they can withstand heat well, but they can only withstand cold or moisture for a brief period of time.

This fishhook Senecio can adapt to both dry and moderately humid environments. However, they may benefit from slightly higher humidity levels, especially during the drier winter months. 

Remember, these are general guidelines, and it's always best to observe your specific plant's response to its environment and make adjustments accordingly. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the String of Fishhooks (Senecio radicans glauca) is a fantastic trailing succulent that's perfect for hanging baskets or cascading down shelves. Its unique fishhook-shaped leaves give it a distinctive appearance. This plant loves bright, indirect light, so place it near a window where it can soak up some rays. When it comes to watering, it's best to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. This low-maintenance plant is a great addition to any succulent collection and adds a touch of whimsy to your space.

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for a beautiful plant Senecio radicans glauca - a string of fishhooks to care for!

Perfect
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Honestly one of the best headlight restoration kits I’ve used. The instructions were simple, the process was easy to follow, and the results were way better than expected. My headlights were heavily oxidized and yellow, and after using the 2000/3000 grit sanding steps with the ceramic coating, they looked almost brand new again. The ceramic finish made them crystal clear and glossy. Definitely worth the money and much better than cheap polish-only kits.

Very happy with the outcome, worked perfectly
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very happy with the CERAKOTE Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit. The instructions were simple to follow, and the whole process was much easier than I expected. My headlights were cloudy and dull before using it, but after completing the steps, they looked dramatically clearer and much closer to new. The kit included everything needed, and I liked that it did not require any extra tools or complicated equipment. The results made a noticeable difference in the appearance of the vehicle, and the headlights also seem brighter at night. Overall, this is a great product that does exactly what it claims. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and effective way to restore foggy headlights.

Highly Recommend – Amazing Results on My Honda Accords!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I recently used the Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit on both my 2008 and 2014 Honda Accords, and I’m genuinely impressed. The headlights on both cars were badly oxidized, hazy, and yellowed from years of sun exposure. After following the kit’s instructions, they look crystal clear and almost like new again. The process is pretty straightforward and beginner-friendly. It does take roughly an hour per headlight set if you follow all the steps carefully and allow proper air drying time before the final clear coat. There’s a bit of elbow grease involved with the sanding and polishing stages, but nothing overly difficult. The kit provides everything you need, and the instructions are clear. The results are excellent! Both cars now have headlights that look factory-fresh. I’m really happy with how bright and clear they are at night. Best part? I saved a ton of money by restoring them instead of buying expensive OEM replacements. The only minor uncertainty is long-term durability (how well the clear coat holds up after a couple years of sun, weather, and car washes), but for the price and the dramatic improvement I saw, it’s absolutely worth it. I’d definitely buy this kit again if needed. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with cloudy headlights. Great product that delivers professional-looking results at a fraction of the cost!

Best product I've tried so far but still temporary. YMMV.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This product really does work. It is the best I've used. I purchased in September 2024 and am writing this review in May of 2026, roughly one year and 8 months later. I noticed product failure a little after a year after application and it has been degrading slowly since. Currently the product is visible like a layer of clear paint flaking off and you can physically scratch some off. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: Clarity, relative ease of use, value Cons: Taping and sanding, doesn't last for as long as you own your car as claimed Best used as a temporary fix. Bottom line, would I use it again? Yes. What am I doing today? Replacing the headlights completely. Why? I plan on keeping my car for longer than a year.

Review After Using on 3 Different Cars over 3 years
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit : After Using on 3 Different Cars over 3 years This is my second time purchasing the Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit, and I’ve now used it across three different vehicles. At this point, I feel comfortable saying this product genuinely works when used correctly. Before trying this kit, I considered replacing my headlights entirely. The cheapest replacement set I found was around $150 just for the parts. Installation would have required removing the grille, bumper, and other components, which adds time and complexity. For an older vehicle, that didn’t make financial sense. Instead, I chose to restore the original headlights. Cost and Value My first package cost me $17, and I restored two cars with that single kit ( about 9$ per pair). That alone made it worth it. For under $20: I restored two separate vehicles Avoided buying new headlight assemblies Avoided removing the bumper and grille Compared to a $150+ replacement plus labor, the savings are significant. Durability 1 year+ under direct Cali sunlight (currently on year 2 and still good) First Car – Learning the Process The first time I used the kit, my results were decent but not perfect. That was mainly because I didn’t fully understand how sanding and polishing actually work. ( this reoxidized fastest under 8 months, but it was mostly my fault) I didn’t initially realize: The headlight needs to stay wet during sanding Oxidation must be completely removed before applying clear coat Even pressure matters/ 50% overlap coverage when appling ceramic Once I understood that sanding is the most important step, everything improved. Second Car (beater) Major Improvement The second vehicle was heavily oxidized and yellowed. I used the remaining material from that same $17 kit and restored it completely. The clarity difference was dramatic. It looked close to factory condition, and night visibility noticeably improved. That was when I realized the product itself is solid; the key is proper technique. Third Car ; Recent purchase By the third car, the process felt straightforward. I followed the instructions carefully, kept the surface wet while sanding, and applied the clear coat evenly in one smooth pass. The final result was clear, glossy, and uniform. No haze, no streaking. Durability On my first vehicle, the restoration lasted close to a year perfectly( I sold that car this year and it still had clear headlights), and that car was parked outside in direct sun most days. For a DIY kit at this price point, that level of durability is impressive. Final Thoughts I seriously considered spending $150 on replacement headlights( this was cheapest ) and dealing with removing body panels. Instead, I spent $17 and restored two cars. Now having used it on three vehicles, I can say this kit is effective, cost-efficient, and worth the time if you follow the process properly. It does require effort and patience, but the results justify it. I would purchase it again.
