General

The Senecio Mountain Fire is a survivor. The succulent grows in the most challenging regions on earth: from the Himalayan mountains to the dry high plains of Africa and Mexico. The better the Senecio Mountain Fire feels, the bigger the reward. This comes in the shape of small orange blossoms that make a beautiful display of colours together with the elongated grey-blue leaves.

Care

The Senecio Mountain Fire does not require much attention. During the growth period, a dash of water every so often is sufficient. During the winter the plant prefers rather dry soil, the extent of which will depend on its location.

Stand

Put the plant in a bright location during the entire year, but beware of the fierce summer sunlight during the warmest period of the day. The Senecio Mountain Fire does not like draughts. If the Senecio feels at home, then it can grow to fifty centimetres.

Potting

Repotting the Senecio Mountain Fire is only necessary if the plant has outgrown its pot. Making cuttings from it is easy. Take a piece of stem and after a few days of drying, plant it in slightly moist soil and let nature do the rest.
