Senecio requires only occasional watering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings and allow the pot to drain well. Avoid leaving Senecio in standing water as this will cause stem rot. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, toxic if eaten.
