Senecio articulatus 'Candle Plant'

Introducing the uniquely captivating Senecio articulatus 'Candle Plant', a remarkable succulent hailing from the arid landscapes of South Africa. This intriguing plant is characterized by its segmented stems, resembling a string of plump, green candles, complete with a "wax" coating that gives it a glossy finish. The segments are connected by thinner, woody stems, making the plant look like a piece of living art.

The Candle Plant typically grows to about 12 inches in height, forming an upright, branching structure that adds an exotic flair to any indoor garden. Its foliage is minimal, with small leaves sprouting at the tips of the stems, but it's the stems themselves that steal the show with their unique appearance. During the summer months, the Candle Plant surprises with an additional burst of color, producing bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that contrast beautifully against its green, candle-like stems.

Ideal for a sunny windowsill, rock garden, or as a quirky addition to a succulent collection, Senecio articulatus thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal water, embodying the ease of care synonymous with succulents. Its distinct shape and texture make it a fascinating conversation starter and a must-have for enthusiasts looking to add something truly different to their plant collection. Whether displayed on its own or among other succulents, the Candle Plant is sure to light up any space with its extraordinary charm.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
