The Senecio Vitalis aka Blue Chalk Fingers are exquisite evergreen succulents with grey-green pointy leaves. They look beautiful as a ground cover but also in a tall or hanging pot. They are commonly known as Blue Chalk Fingers because have narrow pointy and cylindrical shapes leaves that look like fingers. The stems are vertical at first but as the plant grows, they tend to curve down and touch the ground where the nods can form new roots. Pots sold separately.
Water Tolerance: Water once a week (preferably on schedule). Allow the soil to be dry between waterings. Do not overwater as too much moisture will lead to root rot.
Soil: Enjoys gritty succulent potting soil. Feed during the growing season (spring) by adding new soil. If you grow them in containers, repot them with fresh potting soil every 2 -3 years.
