Senecio anteuphorbium f. crestata Ø 17

A sculptural green wave shaped by nature – a rare gem for modern spaces

The Senecio anteuphorbium forma crestata is a botanical rarity born from a natural genetic mutation that turns classic cylindrical stems into wide, wavy, compact fans. Spine-free and with a sleek, architectural look, it’s a must-have for collectors and a striking addition to bright indoor settings.

Tiny oval-elongated leaves appear at the crest tips, often dropping during dormancy periods. In winter, the plant surprises with small clusters of white petals and yellow stamens.

Growing tips

  • Exposure: needs plenty of light, even direct sun, but avoid scorching midday rays in peak summer.
  • Watering: allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings; reduce drastically in winter.
  • Soil type: very well-draining, with sand, pumice, or volcanic grit – ideal for cacti and succulents.
  • Fertilizing: once a month in spring/summer with a low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer.
  • Flowering: yes – winter blooms with tiny white-and-yellow tufts.
  • Did you know? The crested form is highly sought after; it hates waterlogging but thrives in bright indoor spots. Each specimen is one of a kind.
