2.5" Senecio Mandraliscae

Senecio mandraliscae, also known as Blue Chalksticks, is a popular succulent plant with attractive blue-gray foliage. Caring for Senecio mandraliscae is relatively straightforward, here are some guidelines to help you keep your plant healthy:

Light: Prefer full sun to partial shade. Place your plant in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you're keeping it indoors, place it near a south-facing window or provide supplemental grow lights.

Temperature: This succulent is native to regions with warm climates. It thrives in temperatures between 60°F (15°C) and 80°F (27°C). Protect it from frost and cold drafts, as they can damage the plant.

Watering: Like most succulents, Senecio mandraliscae has low water requirements. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Water deeply, but infrequently, ensuring that excess water drains out of the pot. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant enters a period of dormancy.

Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial for the health of your Blue Chalksticks. Use a cactus or succulent potting mix, or create your own by combining regular potting soil with coarse sand or perlite to improve drainage.
