Just ordered a Senecio deflersii
I just ordered a Senecio deflersii from Shoal Creek Succulents on Ebay. They labeled it Kleinia obesa. I got it because it's a fascinating plant that I've never actually seen for sale before. How hard are they to grow though?

I don't think any of the succulent Senecios are hard to grow. I was about to post the same link, beat me to it.

I have S. stapeliiformis. Their roots have rooted after a couple months of too much moisture (I overwatered them for a while and even now they haven’t dries out, drainage not too good). Their stems are not rotten though, and I hope I can save them.

I see why you’d want one Greenknight, they’re wonderfully bizarre.

Thank you for the help everyone! Good thing it’s easy. Strange that the article esp inaging found says they’re common.

They can be grown from cuttings, so if you've got un-rotted stems you should be able to save them.cacti and cacti not wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:15 am I have S. stapeliiformis.

Maybe common where the author of the article is, but perhaps not for most of us.cacti and cacti not wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:17 am Thank you for the help everyone! Good thing it’s easy. Strange that the article esp inaging found says they’re common.
All it takes for one nursery in an area to produce a few thousand of something, and then they are common wherever that nursery supplies to, even if they are rare elsewhere.
