Spear Head Plant Description

senecio “Spear Head” speaks up to its nickname, a unique succulent plant native to South Africa. A woody stem branching vertically with thick blue-green foliage. The leaves can grow to be 1 inch long and have V-shaped tips. A beautiful addition to your succulent collection. Perfect to plant in hanging baskets or tall planters.

Spear Head Water and Light Recommendations

Watering Needs Indoors: Instead of giving your succulents gradual sips of water throughout the week, give them a good soaking, to the point where water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the water that runs into the saucer, succulents do not like to sit in water. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

Watering Needs Outdoors: In the Summer water your succulents every two weeks, by soaking them and letting them dry before watering again. In the Winter water your succulents once a month.
