Curio repens - Senecio serpens - Blue Chalksticks

Cool-toned and sculptural—Curio repens (a.k.a. Blue Chalksticks) brings coastal desert vibes with its upright, silvery-blue stems. Hardy, low-effort, and perfect for sunny spots indoors or out.

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
