Senecio Jacobsenii Trailing Jade

Trailing Jade or Senecio Jacobsenii is a beautiful succulent that forms trailing vines of thick green leaves which turn deep purple when put in cooler conditions or when placed in an area with the light source. This vigorous plant is well suitable for growing in hanging baskets, pots and for ground cover, making its appearance rather elegant. Trailing Jade has earned its popularity because of its rather unconventional watering requirements, which include the ability to grow in drought conditions and requiring very little maintenance when placed indoors or outdoors. Senecio Jacobsenii Trailing Jade can be purchased online in Australia and will add a splash of green to your garden or home.

This is an easy to grow plant native to Australia and perfect for the climatic conditions in the country. It grows best in partially shaded to fully sun exposed areas and dries up easily. Another selling point or a feature that fans of interior greeneries will appreciate are its thick leaves; while the foliage looks very decorative and attractive, the thick leaves themselves act like water reservoirs allowing the plant to be watered less frequently. Alone or as a part of a composition, Senecio Jacobsenii will only complement any garden or indoor collection due to rich color palette and vine-like structure.
