Senecio fulgens
8472
An attractive South African species from a variable genus that contains diverse plants such as vining, scandent species and thick, succulent, stone-like plants. This species looks as though it may be related to Kalanchoe or similar plants, but for the distinctive bloom, with it they typical red pom-pom bloom of many Senecio species. This species has a tall succulent stem that will form adventitious offsets, with succulent leaves that look like Myrtle leaves, green with a coat of silvery tomentum.
Senecio pendulus 'Inchworm plant'
4144
AKA the ‘Inchworm Plant.’ A caulescent species from the Arabian Peninsula with rounded, segmented stems that undulate along the ground surface, rooting at internodes. Bright crimson flowers. Makes an interesting hanging pot. Segments break off very easily, so in shipping this often happens. They can be laid out on the surface of a pot of soil, slightly nested into the media, and they will root in a short time to form a new plant.
The plant arrived in good condition considering it was delivered by the USPS. Glad you packaged it as well as you did. The plant was a bit smaller than the non flowering picture of the plant for sale on your website. Hopefully it will continue to grow well.
I had one of these years ago. It never blomed, I hope this one will bloom.
A nice healthy plant!!
Thanks!
Senecio peregrinus 'String of Dolphins'
9582
Senecio peregrinus is popularly known as the 'String of Dolphins' plant. Although constantly labelled as a species, this plant is really a hybrid between Senecio rowleyanus 'String of Pearls' and Senecio articulatus. The leaves are curved with two points midway down the leaf which gives the appearance of a dolphin. This plant has a pendant, trailing habit with white flowers from May to June.
This plant prefers bright filtered light, keeping it on the dry side. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees, bring it inside! It is not cold hardy.
A unique addition to any succulent collection.
