Curio haworthii, formerly classified under Senecio, is a perennial succulent shrublet hailing from the Eastern Cape of South Africa. This compact, drought-hardy plant is cherished for its densely packed, blue-grey leaves that are covered in a waxy cuticle, helping reduce moisture loss. It’s an excellent candidate for dry landscapes and performs equally well in containers.
Distinctive Features
- Leaf Texture: Thick, spindle-shaped leaves with a prominent waxy coating that gives them a pale, silvery hue.
- Growth Form: Upright to sprawling stems forming a shrubby mound up to 30 cm tall.
- Seasonal Interest: Small, brush-like white flowers appear in late summer to early autumn, though the foliage remains the star.
Care Tips
- Light: Thrives in bright light to full sun, though can tolerate partial shade.
- Water: Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions.
- Humidity: Prefers dry air; avoid high humidity environments.
- Media: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix with added grit or perlite.
- Temperature: Ideal range is 10–25°C; protect from frost.
- Fertiliser: Use a diluted cactus fertiliser during active growth, no more than once a month.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound; ensure good drainage.
Additional Notes
- Toxic to pets if ingested – keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
