Senecio jacobsenii, also known as Trailing Jade, is a fast growing trailing succulent with thick, overlapping leaves that stack along their stems. The foliage starts bright green and can develop beautiful purple or burgundy tones when exposed to strong sunlight or cooler temperatures. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for hanging planters, shelves, or containers where the stems can spill over the edges.

Native to East Africa, It naturally grows in warm, dry regions where it spreads across rocky slopes and sandy soil. In the right conditions, mature plants produce clusters of small orange flowers during the fall and winter, adding a burst of color during the cooler months.

Water
Water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Avoid letting the plant sit in wet soil.

Soil
Use a well draining cactus or succulent soil mix. Good drainage is essential for healthy roots.

Temperature
Grows best between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from frost and cold temperatures below 20°F.
