Senecio 'Haworthii'

Senecio haworthii, commonly known as the Cocoon Plant, is a compact succulent native to South Africa. It features upright, cylindrical leaves densely covered in white, woolly hairs that help protect it from intense sun and moisture loss. Its sculptural form and silvery texture make it a popular choice for minimalist arrangements, small pots, and dry-climate gardens.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Indoors, place near a sunny window with good airflow.

• Watering: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially in cooler months.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage.

• Temperature: Best kept above 5°C. Protect from frost and prolonged cold.

• Humidity: Low humidity is ideal. Avoid placing in humid environments.

• Handling Note: Like many Senecios, it’s toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation. Keep out of reach of pets and wear gloves when handling.

Display Picture plant IS NOT for sale, it is added to showcase the beauty or growth habit of the plant. 

Plants for sale are shown in a 7cm pot. The images will show the same or similar plant to the one sent to you.

Succulent colours can change due to the time of year, environment, or growing conditions.

Please Note:

Plants are sent bare rooted. A snazzy way of saying it will arrive with minimal or no soil or pot.

Succulents need to travel with the least moisture as possible due to potential problems, such as rotting. This means they are taken out of their pots and their roots are allowed to dry out before sending. As a result, plants may arrive looking slightly different to photos. Some maybe a little dry looking or slightly wrinkled leaves for example, remember succulents are hardy and will bounce back with a little TLC. TLC instructions will be within your order.
