Highlights
Coral Senecio (now Kleinia fulgens) (Hooker f.): An attractive species that was popular in Victorian conservatories. This is a tall, stemmed grower native to South Africa. It has silvery green leaves that are initially spoon-shaped, but develop irregular lobes with time. It's coated with a powdery, natural wax (farina) that protects the plant in full sun. The stems can grow to about 2.0' long, bending and branching out of a container. Between winter and early spring, it produces wonderful red-orange, pompom-shaped blooms.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
