Senecio stapeliiformis | Pickle Plant (Mini)
Senecio stapeliiformis is a hardy succulent that is easy to care for and requires minimal maintenance. It thrives in bright light so place it near a window where it can receive sunlight for a few hours each day.
As it is a succulent it prefers well-draining, gritty soil. When it comes to watering, it's important to allow the soil to dry out almost entirely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than to overwater.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
