The Senecio is a succulent with long stems that can reach more than a meter. In its natural habitat, it is a creeping plant. As a houseplant, it is appreciated in a hanging pot with its stems hanging gracefully. The 'Purple Flush' variety bears mauve stems adorned with small light green oval balls. This plant needs plenty of light to maintain its growth. In spring, small yellow flowers appear. During the winter, from December to the end of February, it likes to rest by reducing its light, the ambient temperature and the frequency of watering. This moment of rest favors its flowering.
