Senecio amaniensis

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness Amani Senecio (Senecio amaniensis) is a strong, upright succulent with thick stems and smooth grey-green leaves. The leaves have a clean, glossy surface and can develop bright pink to purple edges when exposed to strong sunlight or light drought stress. The deep green tones mixed with colorful margins give the plant a bold, dramatic look.                                                                                                                                          In the growing season, it can send up a tall flower stalk topped with a bright orange, paintbrush-like bloom. In nature it can grow quite tall, but in pots it stays more compact. It grows best in bright light with well-draining soil and infrequent watering. It is easy to propagate from stem cuttings, which root quickly and help shape the plant.                                                     Bright Indoor Light, Filtered / Partial Sun.                                                                                                        Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 70%-80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot. Zone 10
