Narrow Leaf Chalk Stick (Curio talinoides)

Narrow Leaf Chalk Sticks used to be called Senecio talinoides, but now they're officially Curio talinoides. It’s just a name change to better reflect how they differ from other related plants—kind of like a botanical upgrade.

Curio talinoides – A standout in the succulent world, Curio talinoides is a semi-trailing shrub with slender, upright-to-arching stems in blue green. Its narrow, cylindrical leaves curve slightly upward, giving it a windswept, modern look—perfect for hanging baskets, tall pots, or spilling over rock walls.

• Look & Feel: Upright stems with narrow, pointed leaves up to 15 cm long and 1 cm wide.

• Growth Habit: Starts upright, then arches and trails as stems mature.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sun can bleach the color.

• Watering: Drought-tolerant. Water deeply, then let soil dry completely. Reduce watering in winter.

• Soil: Needs excellent drainage. Avoid soggy conditions.

• Flowers: Small white blooms appear in spring, held in clusters at the stem tips.

• Hardiness: Tolerates light frost 

• Propagation: Easy from stem cuttings—just snip, dry, and plant.

Plants for sale are shown in a 10cm 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.
