Similar to the more common Senecio rowleyanus, which has the same common names. The leaves are larger, less globular, more elongate (shap...Read Moreed like a spindle), and more glaucous. The stems are thicker, stiffer, and somewhat more erect. Young, short plants are erect, but they will be pendant or scandent with time. I think it has the slit-shaped transparent leaf windows of S. rowleyanus, but they are much less obvious. The flowers are very similar.
I've found this to be difficult to kill. It is more drought-tolerant than S. rowleyanus, but it needs higher light and is far more prone to etiolation. Even in my somewhat obstructed south window it looks very stretched. It still grows profusely. Outside in the summer, it grows normally and the leaves attain a lovely blue-violet hue. So, recommended as a houseplant with the caveat that it needs a good deal of light if you want to see the normal leaf shape and any flowers. Large specimens should be grown in hanging baskets or allowed to cascade down the front of the pot.

A most pleasant little succulent vine to keep. Blooms quite nicely in part sun.
