Senecio Citriformis
The Senecio Citriformis, affectionately known as the "String of Lemons," is a charming succulent vine native to South Africa. This unique plant captures attention with its upright, lemon-shaped leaves that adorn slender, trailing stems. Its unusual form and intriguing growth habit make it a delightful addition to any succulent collection.
Distinctive Features:
Lemon-shaped Leaves: The plump, elongated leaves bear a striking resemblance to tiny lemons, complete with a pointed tip and a slightly flattened shape. Their vibrant green hue is often accompanied by a subtle blue-gray bloom, adding to their visual appeal.
Upright Growth: Unlike its "String of Tears" relative, the leaves of Senecio Citriformis grow upright on the stems, creating a fascinating vertical display.
Trailing Habit: While the leaves grow upwards, the stems themselves tend to trail, making this succulent ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters where its unique form can be fully appreciated.
Translucent "Windows": The leaves feature translucent lines or "windows," allowing sunlight to penetrate and contributing to the plant's overall luminous quality.
Care and Cultivation:
Light: Bright, indirect light is preferred.
Water: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. A cactus and succulent mix is recommended.
Why Choose Senecio Citriformis?
Unique Appearance: Its lemon-shaped leaves and upright growth habit set it apart from other trailing succulents.
Easy Care: Requires minimal attention, making it suitable for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
Versatile: Can be grown indoors or outdoors in a suitable climate.
