Senecio Mandraliscae . Ive had it, its kind boring...

Nick name Blue Chalksticks.

I like it's bluish color, nice to mix with green or darker colored succulents. Try not touching leaves much, so the farina doesn't rub off.

I have made so many cutting. They grow like weeds so I would cut it back and give it some good full sun. It's very etiolated.

Here's how they look normally. Reds and purples really stand out with these.

I bought this bundle for super cheap at Walmart. I dont have high hopes because it's Walmart, but I couldn't resist the deal. Any suggestions on this? Should I leave as is? Or should I separate the succulents? It looks so crowded.

If it were my pot I would take it all out, cut it up and re set it. Re rooting all the tops.

Some of the plants are so fragile because they were over watered at Walmart. I've had it for two weeks and haven't touched it. Now, some leaves fall off just barely touching one of the plants. I think I'll let it sit for a while longer and then I'll play around with it.

and do not water for weeks after you re set. It will only lead to rot. If you can take it outside it would be much much happier.

I'll try taking them outside. I love in Minnesota. So it's not quite the right time yet.

It's June in a day or so, what do you mean not the right time. It is still snowing LOL? I am in Canada almost straight east of you. They are good to go out when it's in the upper 40's at night.

I'm newer to succulents and I've never put them outside. it has been raining a lot here and it's just starting to warm up. I'll put them out soon.

I would check the soil, you saying leaves are falling off is concerning. Is there a drainage hole in the container? They could be sitting in a mucky soil - and could rot easily.

Better to check it out right away rather than waiting. Simply check with a wooden or bamboo skewer, or chopstick or dowel or pencil. Stick deep into the soil, leave for few minutes. When pulled out and stick is dry, time to water. If stick comes out damp, better take them out right away and repot. Repotting new succulents if a good idea anyway.

I am about 100 km N of Matt, and have succulents outdoors already too. They are potted in gritty mix that drains very well. It has been raining a lot - for example for 2 days right now, and I do not worry about them getting wet.

it has drainage holes when I first bought it, jut was soaked. is still a little damp now

Still damp, and you said you didn't water since you got them for 2 weeks. That is too long for succulents to be in wet soil. If my plants, I would take them out of existing soil. Get rid of all of it. Inspect the roots, cut off any damaged - dry, broken, slimy...Let air dry for few hours/overnight, and pot into new mix. Simple and inexpensive mix you could make would be mixing Cactus & Succulent soil with sifted perlite or pumice in min. 1:1 ratio, or less soil and more perlite. Mix should look as this: - you could use more of inorganic ingredient (perlite, pumice...) but do not less:

If raining quite often, your plants would benefit from a mix that drains even better: mix about 40% of sifted perlite (pumice), 40% grit, and rest of soil. There could be even less soil - I don't even use any. Mix like that will drain fast and well, and you don't have to worry about plants rotting.

That is great information. I will take care of them ASAP. what do you mean by grit?

The grit I use is poultry Grit. Poultry Grit is made from decomposed granite. Cheap by the big bag at feed stores. Comes in two sizes here. Small which is good for starting cuttings or seeds and larger (1/4) for all my other plants.

Daisy, your plant is a Cotyledon. The OP’s plant is a Senecio. They’re both succulent plants but in different plant families.

No. like usual you are wrong

if you examine this closely, youll see the parallel lines running on the leaf.

much to my disappointment, it wasnt a cotyledon.

Daisy is the original poster, the latter plant that you see are photos taken from another perspective..

Stefan, you are correct. I got the posters confused. I am so glad you are here for me!
