Senecio Crassicautrs ( Vertical Leaf Senecio)

Senecio crassissimus, commonly known as the Vertical Leaf Senecio, is a captivating succulent native to South Africa. It is cherished by plant enthusiasts for its unique, upright, flat leaves and its ability to add a touch of vertical interest to any succulent arrangement or garden.

Appearance:

• Leaves: Thick, fleshy, and flat leaves that grow vertically along the stems, resembling small paddles or oars. The leaves are typically a bluish-green color with a reddish tinge around the margins, especially when exposed to ample sunlight.
• Stems: Upright, branching stems that create a bushy, shrub-like appearance. The stems are typically green but can turn reddish or purplish with age or stress.

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. More sunlight exposure intensifies the reddish hues on the leaf margins.

• Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. 
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures but can tolerate cool temperatures if kept dry.
• Maintenance: Minimal maintenance required.
