Curio repens - Senecio serpens - Blue Chalksticks

Plant Care
Light: Loves full sun to bright indirect light. The more sun, the stronger the blue. Outdoors in summer? Absolutely. Indoors? Brightest window possible.
Watering: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Very drought-tolerant. Water sparingly in winter or during cool, low-light periods.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Can tolerate down to about 5°C if kept dry. Not frost-hardy, so bring indoors before freezing temps.
Potting: Our Savvy Succa mix is perfect—gritty, quick-draining, and just right for these water-wise roots.
Hot tips: Great for rockeries, shallow bowls, or trailing slightly over edges. Trim leggy growth to maintain shape. May produce small white blooms in summer when happy.
Pet Friendly: No
