Description:
Senecio Mandraliscae, also known as Blue Chalksticks, is a low-growing or trailing succulent plant that typically doesn't exceed 30 cm in height. It features attractive cylindrical, bluish-green, fleshy leaves that taper to a point. The small cream-colored flowers emit a pleasant fragrance and bloom during the summer and early fall. This plant is commonly used as ground cover on slopes, in dry garden areas, on retaining walls, and in hanging baskets and containers for patios and terraces.
History and Origin:
Native to South Africa, Senecio Mandraliscae has a history of being used as an ornamental plant in gardening due to its beauty and resilience.
Care:
Proper sunlight exposure is crucial for its care. It prefers partial shade in very hot climates but can tolerate full sun in more moderate conditions. It cannot withstand frost below -3°C and should be kept above 6°C in winter.
Watering:
Watering should be moderate, especially during spring and summer, with a frequency of approximately every two weeks. In winter, watering once every month and a half is sufficient. Overwatering should be avoided as it can be detrimental to the plant.
Soil:
It prefers commercial cactus mix or a blend of 50% garden soil and 50% coarse silica sand for good drainage.
Fertilization:
Fertilizing is not necessary as the plant can derive nutrients from the soil.

Light pruning after flowering can help control its growth and maintain its desired shape.
Pests and Diseases:
Senecios generally do not encounter significant problems with pests and diseases if overwatering is avoided.
