Senecio Himalaya Succulent House Plant 5cm Pot
Senecio Himalaya is a small, trailing succulent plant that belongs to the daisy family. Here are some care tips for Senecio Himalaya:
-
Light: Senecio Himalaya prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight in the morning or evening, but avoid intense afternoon sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water the plant when the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. Water less frequently in winter when the plant's growth slows down.
-
Soil: Use well-draining soil for succulents, such as cactus or succulent soil.
-
Temperature: Senecio Himalaya prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from frost and cold drafts.
-
Humidity: Senecio Himalaya prefers low to moderate humidity.
-
Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring to fall). Avoid fertilizing in winter when the plant's growth slows down.
-
Propagation: Senecio Himalaya can be propagated from stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry for a day or two before planting them in well-draining soil.
-
Pruning: Prune the plant to encourage bushier growth and to remove any leggy or dead stems.
-
Pests and diseases: Senecio Himalaya is generally not prone to pests and diseases. However, overwatering can lead to root rot and fungal diseases. Keep an eye out for mealybugs, spider mites, and aphids, and treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
