Know before you buy
This succulent requires bright, direct light to maintain its compact shape and vibrant color. A south-facing window is ideal to ensure it receives the intensity it needs to prevent stretching.
As a drought-tolerant plant, it prefers to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water deeply only when the soil is dry to the touch, and significantly reduce frequency during winter months.
Yes, the pot is designed for plant health and includes drainage to prevent water from pooling at the roots. We recommend placing a saucer underneath if you are keeping it on a surface that is sensitive to moisture.
Yes, the 53-inch measurement represents the total height of the plant from the base of the vintage terra pot to the highest tip of the foliage. It is a substantial, floor-standing piece.
No, the Senecio barbertonicus is considered toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. It is best placed in an area of your home that is inaccessible to curious pets.
