Finding light for Blue Chalksticks in your home
Senecio Mandraliscae may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves ๐, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Senecio Mandraliscae in your home ๐ก.
How to fertilize Senecio Mandraliscae
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil itโs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Senecio Mandraliscae after it doubles in size or once a yearโwhichever comes first.

Blue Chalksticks turning dark at base. My Blue Chalksticks has been looking rough for quite a while, but now itโs gotten wrinkled and dark at the base. Should I cut it an try to propagate it or is there something better to do? I donโt really have enough light for succulents, but Iโd like to at least keep it alive. Thank you!! #SucculentSquad #Succulents #BlueChalkSticks

How big do these grow?

Show me your pickles!!! Any plant known as a pickle plant, or any plant named 'Pickles!'. I thought 'Famous Dave' (my pickle plant) was supposed to be tall and straight, but a lot of newer growth went wavy... probably not enough light/etioliated. #pickleplant #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #newgrowth #coolpots

Best way to repot and trim a String of Dolphins? My #StringOfDolphins have been through a few moves (and short stints of forgetting to water them๐ ) over the past 2 years. I'm thinking I need to repot and trim as the leaves towards the ends of the vines are splayed out flat and there are a few dried vines (see attached pics). Any advice for the best way to do this without losing too much growth at the crown? Do I repot bigger or same size? Should I change the soil out to some succulent soil? (I wasn't aware there were different kinds when I first got this plant). Any help is much appreciated! ๐ #succulentsquad #happyplants
