Senecio stapeliiformis (Sometimes spelled Senecio stapeliaeformis or stapeliformis) is an attractive succulent species with prettily marked pencil-like stems with purple-green patterns and soft spines along the sides, the whole recalling a Stapelia in form (hence the name), but has a large orange hawkweed-like flower. Underground shoots emerge to form erect. It is a perennial succulent, with erect to reclining stems branched from the base with rhizomes stems some of which travel underground before emerging.
Caring for senecio
- Keep temperatures between 20-26°C as it is their active growth stage
- Handle it carefully and gently while repotting
- Pot it in at least 80-90% mineral based substrate as it is sensitive to water and may rot easily when soil is waterlogged
- Propagate by cuttings, let it callous before propagating
- Place it in a bright, airy location receiving a mix of direct and filtered sunlight
- Water only when the soil is bone dry
