How do you care for Senecio succulents?
Like most succulents, senecio needs sandy, well-drained soil and is prone to rot in soggy conditions. Also, protect senecio plants from hot and cold drafts. Senecio is drought tolerant and should be watered sparingly, especially during the winter. Always let the soil dry out between each watering.
Does succulent plant need sun?
Succulents love light and need about six hours of sun per day, depending on the type of succulent. Newly planted succulents can scorch in direct sunlight, so you may need to gradually introduce them to full sun exposure or provide shade with a sheer curtain.
How do you propagate Senecio?
Propagating Senecio Succulents
Cuttings are the easiest and fastest way to propagate Senecios. During the growing season, you can clip off a stem and root it in a pot of sandy soil to start a new plant.
How fast does Senecio grow?
