A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 Senecio Articulata

Hi there.

My friend from California is sending a cutting of senecio articulatus. The problem is that I've never heard of that plant. I did read up on how to root it. I don't know how to care for it afterwards though.

I live in apartment in Detroit. My succulents are on a table pushed up to an east facing window. There are a couple of 25w complact flourescent bulbs hovering just above. The bulbs put out 100w of light. He's able to grow his in his yard. So, I can't really do it the way he does.

Please give me some tips.

welcome to the forum!

the common name is 'candle plant'

here are the results of a google search

I'd already been trying the Google and Yahoo searches. There's not a whole lot I could find for this plant's care for those growing it inside.

the links for plantideas.com and morris.umn.com had info on growing conditions.

Nope. I came across those two links when I was doing the yahoo and google searches before I posted here. Neither site gave me the information I needed.

I was able to find it another way. Thanks.
