Senecio Stpeliiformis is very different from most Senecios. This one has a rather upright habit. Its long, green-ribbed stems can reach up to 1 foot long. In spring, a red-orange flower appears at the end of the stems. This plant needs plenty of light to maintain its good health. During the winter, from December to the end of February, it likes to rest by reducing its light, ambient temperature, and watering frequency.
