Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Senecio Esleri prefers dry environments, but by misting the plant or providing extra humidity, water will linger on the leaves and create an ideal environment for fungi that could be harmful.

How to fertilize Senecio Esleri
