About Senecio Jacobsenii

How to care for Senecio Jacobsenii
Sun/Location: Senecio Jacobsenii is a highly drought-tolerant succulent plant that needs some water during the summer but does not leave the soil wet for prolonged periods. They are most commonly grown indoors as excellent addition in hanging baskets and vertical gardens. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight. Shade is required in summer to avoid sunburn. In winter, protection from frost is needed.
Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of succulents, they need porous, well-draining soil to live in. To create an adequate cactus mix, add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Watering: Succulents require little watering but don’t like to sit in wet soil. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Cut back on watering during the fall and winter when Senecio Jacobsenii enters dormancy.
