Senecio Scaposus has long, bean-shaped leaves covered in a soft, silvery material. This helps protect the leaves from the strong sun in its home in South Africa. It also needs plenty of bright sunlight when grown elsewhere. Be careful when handling it, as the soft covering can come off, and it won't grow back. However, new leaves will eventually grow to replace any damaged ones. In the summer, this plant produces pretty yellow flowers that look like daisies

- Native to: South Africa
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent, susceptible to frost
- Zone: Suitable for zones 10
- Recommended light conditions: Partial Sun
- Bloomtime: Spring
- Bloom Color: Yellow

Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with small amounts of water throughout the week, it is advisable to thoroughly soak the soil until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure that any excess water in the saucer is discarded, as succulents prefer not to sit in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.

Outdoors: During the summer, water your succulents every two weeks by giving them a deep soak and allowing the soil to dry before watering again. In the winter, watering once a month is sufficient.
