Succulents - Senecio
 |
| Senecio rowleyana |
Senecio rowleyana – known as string of pearls,
the stems with pale green pea like leaves can trail two feet in
length. Excellent hanging basket specimen.
 |
| Senecio serpens |
Senecio serpens – long slender pale blue
foliage clusters. Adds great texture to mixed plantings.
Propagation: propagate from stem cuttings, letting
them dry overnight first.
Growing Tips: Succulent plants require a very
quickly draining soil, either with extra drainage material such
as sand with all dust and small particles sieved out or one specially
developed for cacti and succulent plants. Also beneficial is a mulch
of small stones or gravel to assist in drainage around the base
of the plant. Water thoroughly only when the soil is quite dry and
avoid watering altogether in cooler weather and winter. Use fertilizer
sparingly while plants are actively growing. We suggest planting
succulent plants in a clay pot, partly for their good drainage,
and also to prevent large heavy plants from tipping over while drying
out as recommended between waterings.
Pricing
Price for all succulent plants is $5.00 per plant in 2” pots.
A collection of 9 plants is $42.00, a saving of $3.00 over the regular
price. If you buy more than one collection at the same time, I'll
try not to duplicate the selection of plants.
