EstablishedSenecios are extremely drought kind . They require some H2O during the summer but do not allow for the soil wet for protract menses . Allow the soil to dry out betweenwateringsin wintertime when they are somewhat hibernating . Since they are growing in sandysoil , nutrients will need to be fill again . Fertilizeannually , but softly . Too much fertiliser will cause a lot of leggy growth .
