Senecio Haworthii (Cocoon Plant" or "Woolly Senecio)

Senecio haworthii, commonly known as Woolly Senecio or Cocoon Plant, is a striking succulent characterized by its thick, cylindrical leaves covered in dense, white, wool-like hairs. This soft, fuzzy texture gives the plant a unique silvery appearance, making it a beautiful addition to any succulent collection or garden.

Key Features:

• Distinctive silvery-white, woolly foliage

• Compact, upright growth habit reaching about 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) tall

• Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant

• Adds unique texture and contrast to succulent arrangements

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; can tolerate some direct sun but avoid harsh midday rays to prevent leaf burn.

• Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering; reduce watering during winter dormancy.

• Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures; protect from frost and temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly during the growing season with a balanced succulent fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings.
