Senecio is a quirky group of succulents known for their trailing stems and unusual shapes. From pea-like leaves to fishbone patterns, these plants bring a playful touch to any plant shelf.

Origin

Senecio species come from dry regions in Africa and South America. Their fleshy leaves store water, making them well adapted to drought conditions.

Care

Light

Loves bright light. Place it near a window with morning or evening sun. Avoid harsh midday sun, especially in summer.

Water

Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. In winter, it needs very little water.

Humidity

Senecio prefers dry air and doesn’t need added humidity. Too much moisture can lead to rot.

Toxic?

Many Senecio types are mildly toxic if ingested. Keep them out of reach of pets and children.

With their unique shapes and low-maintenance care, Senecios are perfect for anyone who wants something fun and easy to look after.
