Senecio Collection

Senecio Plant Features

Senecios are an interesting group of easy-to-care for succulent houseplants often grown in hanging baskets. These indoor plants have earned a reputation for being a cinch to care for because if they get enough light . they're practically no-fail plants that need only occasional watering.

String of bananas . pearls . ruby necklace and dolphins is a variety that has trailing stems . it's often grown in hanging baskets so you can enjoy the plant's interesting texture. But you can also grow these in a traditional container and let it grow across a horizontal surface . such as a mantle. The wax ivy on the other hand will trail and an excellent climber.

Senecio Growing Instructions

Grow senecios in a bright spot. Like most succulents . these are high-light houseplants that will take as much light (or artificial light) as they can get.

Water senecios sparingly --- only after the soil dries. Take care not to overwater these interesting houseplants.

Senecios don't mind dry air (unlike most houseplants!) . but they don't like to be exposed to drafts . so protect this plant from blasts of hot or cold air that may come from drafty windows or heating/cooling vents.

Prefers bright indirect light.

Be sure to let the soil dry out between waterings.
