It seems like you’re referring to a succulent commonly known as Senecio serpens or Blue Chalksticks. This plant is appreciated for its stunning blue-gray foliage and easy maintenance. Here’s some information about it:
Key Characteristics of Senecio Serpens (Blue Senecio or Blue Chalksticks):
- Foliage: Senecio serpens has narrow, cylindrical leaves that grow upright or slightly curved, resembling sticks or chalk, which gives the plant its common name. The leaves are a beautiful blue-gray color, which can deepen in color when exposed to full sun.
- Size: This succulent typically grows to about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) in height and can spread up to 24 inches (60 cm) wide. It has a low, spreading growth habit, making it an excellent ground cover in succulent gardens or a trailing plant in containers.
- Flowers: In the summer, Senecio serpens may produce small, white, or pale yellow flowers on short stalks. However, the plant is primarily grown for its foliage rather than its flowers.
Care Tips for Senecio Serpens (Blue Chalksticks):
- Light: Senecio serpens thrives in bright, direct sunlight to partial shade. Full sun helps maintain its compact growth and enhances the blue coloration of the leaves. If grown indoors, place it near a south or west-facing window.
- Watering: Use the “soak and dry” method, watering thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this plant is drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot if the soil remains too wet.
- Soil: Plant in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding sand or perlite can improve drainage further. Good drainage is essential to prevent water from sitting at the roots.
- Temperature: Senecio serpens prefers warm temperatures and is not frost-tolerant. It can handle temperatures down to around 50°F (10°C) but should be protected from frost and freezing temperatures.
- Propagation: This plant can be easily propagated by stem cuttings or division. Simply cut a healthy stem, allow it to callous over for a few days, and then plant it in well-draining soil.
- Maintenance: Senecio serpens is relatively low-maintenance. Prune back any leggy growth to maintain a compact shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy.
