Senecio anteuphorbium f. crestata Ø 18

Senecio anteuphorbium f. crestata is a botanical rarity born from a natural genetic mutation that transforms the classic cylindrical stems into wide, wavy, compact fans. Spineless and with a modern design, it is perfect for collectors and for brightening up indoor spaces.

At the tips of the crests, small elongated oval leaves appear, which the plant tends to lose during dormancy periods. In winter, the plant surprises with a flowering of small tufts with white petals and yellow pistils.

Growing notes:

• Exposure: plenty of light, even direct sun, but avoid excessively hot sun during the central hours of summer.
• Watering: allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings; reduce to a minimum in winter.
• Soil type: very well-draining, specific for cacti and succulents (e.g., sand, pumice, lapilli).
• Fertilization: once a month in spring/summer with a low-nitrogen fertilizer for succulents.
• Flowering: yes, in winter it produces small tufts with white petals and yellow pistils.
• Fun fact: highly sought-after crested form; fears waterlogging; excellent for bright interiors.
