Mermaid Tail Succulent #201 – Crested Senecio Talinoides (Narrow Leaf Chalk Stick)
This Mermaid Tail Succulent is a one-off crested succulent with a sculptural, fan-like form that stands out straight away. This listing is for the exact plant shown, making it a great choice for collectors or anyone looking for a distinctive feature plant for a bright shelf, sunny windowsill, or covered patio.
Commonly sold as a crested form of Senecio Talinoides Narrow Leaf Chalk Stick, this plant has narrow blue-green leaves fused into an undulating crest. The growth is irregular in the best way, with a coral-like, wave-shaped silhouette that gives it the popular Mermaid Tail name. It works especially well as a display plant because the unusual cresting is already established, so the appeal is immediate from the day it arrives.
This plant suits growers who enjoy unusual succulent forms and want something more individual than standard nursery stock. As a single specimen listing, it also removes the guesswork. The plant pictured is the plant you will receive.

This plant has been grown in a 190 mm nursery pot, so that size is a helpful guide if you’re choosing a pot for home. We usually ship bare root for freshness and to keep shipping practical, but we’re happy to pot your plant on request.
