Position:
Indoors it likes to live in a bright spot, like near a south or west facing window. Just be sure to keep it away from hot glass or prolonged exposure to hot summer sun because it’ll burn.
Water:
Water every 3-6 weeks depending on the season and how hot and dry your home is. It’s good to let it almost thoroughly dry out between watering. No matter the frequency, you want to thoroughly water the plant and make sure all the water drains out. So using well draining soil is recommended.
Feed:
Feed monthly during the spring and summer with a water-soluble plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength - Use our organic seaweed fertiliser for best results.
Humidity:
Normal room humidity is fine however, we recommend you can use a humidity tray, half-filled with water, then place your plant pot on top. Top up the water if necessary when watering your plant. Make sure the water level stays below the top of the pebbles/Leca balls so the plant roots can breathe. The humidity from the tray will keep the leaves lush and the roots moist.
Soil:
Senecio likes to be relatively dry and rely on air moisture when soil has dried out, therefore a fast draining and very aerated soil mix is recommended - Use our succulent soil mix for best results.
