Characteristics
The Senecio cephalophorus is a succulent, which stands for a plant that stores water in its leaves and stems. It is a compact, bushy plant that usually does not grow higher than 30 centimetres.

These plants are semi-hardy and need to be protected against frost. It is recommended to keep the Senecio cephalophorus indoors in areas where the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius. Propagation takes place through cuttings or seeds. It is important to know that this plant is susceptible to root rot, so over-watering should be avoided.
