No, this plant is toxic to pets. It’s best to place it in an area out of reach of animals to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can this plant be placed in direct sunlight?
It thrives in bright locations but avoid direct midday sun which can be too harsh. Morning or late afternoon sunlight is ideal for its growth.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Senecio Herreianus thrives in bright locations without the harshness of midday sun. Ideal light conditions include direct morning sunlight or soft late afternoon rays. This helps maintain its vibrant foliage without risking sunburn.

💧 Water

💧▫️▫️ (Low)

This succulent needs minimal watering. Only water when the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering can cause the pearls to swell and burst, so it’s crucial to check the soil moisture before watering again.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

Senecio Herreianus enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. It’s important to protect it from drafts and extreme cold, which could harm the plant.

💦 Humidity

💦▫️▫️ (Low)

This plant is quite forgiving when it comes to humidity, coping well with the average humidity levels found in most homes. There’s no need for additional humidity adjustments.

🪴 Repotting

Repotting should be done with care, ideally during the growing season (spring-summer). Choose a well-draining potting mix suitable for cacti and succulents to prevent water retention and root rot.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

Please note that the Senecio Herreianus is toxic to pets. If ingested, it can be harmful, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of curious pets.

🏠 Recommended Locations at Home

Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, especially near windows that receive plenty of indirect sunlight. It’s a stunning addition to areas like living rooms, kitchens, or well-lit bathrooms.

🌿 Air Purifying

    Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.

    Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
