Description
A medium sized plant, Senecio Herreianus forms a hanging curtain of lean, slender, flexible stems, surrounded by blue-green leaves. The leave have a glossy texture. They produce white, small flowers near the surface of the plant
Despite its delicate appearance, this unusual succulent house plant is a vigorous grower, quickly creeping across the surface of the pot, then cascading down the side.
Its trailing stems can reach 2-3 ft (60-90 cm). If long stems become straggly, you can cut them off. Poke healthy stem tip cuttings back into the soil to create a full, lush plant.
Environment
Bright light with direct sunlight & well-drained sandy soil. Drought Tolerant.
Care
Water thoroughly, then allow to dry out slightly between watering. This plant will not tolerate soggy soil. Cut back on water in winter, watering just enough to prevent the soil from drying out. Feed once a month spring through fall with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.
Landscape Use
Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
Danger
All parts of plant are poisonous if ingested
