Senecio Stapeliiformis Care
Light: Prefer strong indirect light or filtered sun. It can tolerate direct morning sun, but must be protected from intense midday light.
Soil: It needs a well-drained soil, ideal for cacti and succulents, which prevents the accumulation of excess water.
Watering : Water the plant only when the soil is completely dry. Avoid excessive watering, as it can lead to root rot.
Temperature : It develops best at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Does not tolerate frost; the minimum acceptable temperature is approximately 10°C.
Humidity : Low or moderate humidity is preferred; excess humidity in the air can cause fungal problems.
Fertilization : Use a diluted fertilizer for cacti and succulents once a month, during the growing season (spring and summer).
Replanting : Replant every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows the pot, using a fresh substrate and a pot with good drainage.
Propagation : It is propagated by stem cuttings, which must be allowed to dry for a few days before planting in dry soil.
Height with pots included approx. 20-25 cm
