Senecio Growing Instructions
Grow senecios in a bright spot. Like most succulents, these are high-light houseplants that will take as much sun (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.
Note: Senecios is not intended for human or animal consumption.
