Introducing the dwarf blue chalk sticks, known as Senecio serpens; with its blue-grey color is a popular choice for gardens. It adds a great accent and gives a unique touch to any garden. Originating from South Africa, this Senecio serpens succulent plant has several other common names such as mini blue chalk stick, Curio repens, blue chalk fingers, compact blue chalk sticks, Cacalia repens, and Senecio serpens f. cristatus. The Mini blue chalk sticks Senecio serpens tend to have a more compact and mounding growth habit compared to the trailing habit of large blue chalk sticks Senecio mandraliscae. 

Senecio serpens is a dwarf semi-trailing succulent with short, cylindrical blue-green, finger-like fleshy leaves, branching from the base, suckering from roots, and rooting along prostrate stems. The Senecio serpens protective farina coating thickens in bright sunlight, causing it to take on a more silvery hue in summer. It has a low-growing and spreading habit, forming dense mats of foliage that can reach a height of about 12 inches and spread up to 3 feet wide. Its unique texture and color make it a popular choice for rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a ground cover. 

The Senecio serpens blooms in late spring or mid-summer, with small, daisy-like yellow or small white flowers on tall stalks. The flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making them a great addition to any garden. 

Senecio serpens can be propagated through stem cuttings or by division. To propagate through stem cuttings, simply take a healthy stem and let it dry for a few days to form a callus. Then, insert the stem into well-drained soil and keep it slightly moist until the roots develop. Division can be done by carefully separating the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots attached. 

Watering Needs 

Senecio serpens is a drought-tolerant succulent that requires minimal watering. It is critical to follow the "soak and dry" technique. This means that you should thoroughly water your dwarf blue chalk sticks until water drains out of the bottom of the pot and then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to err on the side of underwatering with this Senecio succulent. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you'll typically water Senecio serpens about once every two to three weeks. However, it's important to adjust the watering schedule based on the specific conditions of your environment. 

During the dormant period in winter, you can reduce watering to once a month or even less. When watering, make sure to water the soil directly and avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can cause them to rot. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater when it comes to succulents like Senecio serpens blue chalksticks. By providing just the right amount of water and allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, you'll help ensure the health and longevity of your dwarf blue chalk sticks plant. 

Light Requirements 

When it comes to light requirements for Senecio serpens, it thrives in bright, indirect light, whether you choose to grow it indoors or outdoors. When growing indoors, place your Senecio serpens in a location where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight for several hours a day. A south-facing window is usually a great spot, as it provides ample sunlight without the risk of scorching the leaves. If you don't have a south-facing window, east or west-facing windows can also work well. Just make sure to rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth. 

If you prefer to grow dwarf blue chalk sticks Senecio serpens outdoors; then it loves basking in full sun or partial shade. Ideally, find a spot that receives at least six hours of sun exposure per day. However, be cautious of intense afternoon sun, especially in hot climates, as it can cause sunburn on the leaves. Providing some light shade during the hottest part of the day can help protect the Senecio serpens plant. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for the health and growth of Senecio serpens. With proper lighting, your Senecio serpens will thrive and display its beautiful blue-gray foliage for you to enjoy! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer 

Senecio serpens likes very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 5.6 - 7.5. Senecio succulent requires fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil. Soggy wet soil can damage your dwarf blue chalk sticks and contribute to bacterial and fungal rot. 

As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Senecio serpens plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizer needs, Senecio serpens doesn't require heavy feeding. A balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated for succulents can be applied once a year during the growing season, which is typically spring. Follow the instructions for the correct dilution and frequency of application. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to salt build-up in the soil, harming the Senecio plant. 

By providing well-draining soil and a balanced fertilizer regimen, you'll help ensure that your Senecio serpens receives the nutrients it needs without risking overfeeding. This will contribute to its overall growth and vibrancy. 

Hardiness Zone & More  

If you are growing these beautiful succulents indoors, Senecio serpens prefer temperatures between 65°F to 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's important to avoid exposing it to extreme cold or drafts. As for humidity, this dwarf blue chalk sticks succulent is adaptable and can handle average indoor humidity levels without any issues. 

If you are living in USDA zones 9-11, you can grow your Senecio serpens blue chalk sticks outdoors year-round. This means that it thrives in warmer climates and may not tolerate freezing temperatures well. If you live in a colder region, it's best to grow Senecio serpens as an indoor plant or provide it with protection during the winter months. 

The Senecio serpens blue chalksticks are heat tolerant up to 100°F without any problems. However, it's important to note that it may not tolerate frost or prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. If you live in a region with colder winters, it's best to bring your Senecio serpens indoors or provide them with protection during the colder months. 

Remember, understanding the hardiness zone and temperature preferences of Senecio serpens is essential for its overall health and well-being. By providing the right conditions, whether indoors or outdoors, you'll help ensure that your plant thrives and continues to display its stunning blue-gray foliage. 

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the Senecio serpens (dwarf blue Chalksticks) is a captivating plant with its striking blue-green foliage and low-growing, spreading habit. Originating from South Africa, it thrives in arid conditions and is a popular choice for rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a ground cover. It produces small yellow flowers in late spring or early summer, adding a beautiful touch to its overall appearance. However, it's important to note that Senecio serpens, like other succulents in the Senecio genus, contains toxic alkaloids if consumed.

PLEASE REVIEW — FORMULA CHANGED!!!
I wish I would’ve posted a review PRIOR to the formula changing but just know that I LOVED this serum. I’ve struggled with hormonal acne (PCOS) and eczema for as long as I can remember. Finally, last summer my dermatologist put me on (3) different RX including Spironolactone and Accutane. I was so tired so I stopped everything except for CeraVe cleanser, retinol (Tretinoin) and CeraVe healing ointment. My made up skin routine was working until I used too much Tretinoin and burned my face. I had read great reviews about this product so I thought, I might as well try it — and IT WORKED! I’ve been using this product for almost a year and I loved it. However, 3 weeks ago when I ordered it, I noticed the bottle had a green tint. I could tell after one use that the feel of the serum was different, more watery, not as thick as it used to be. The smell was also different. Still, I kept using it for nearly 2 weeks and I experienced 2 breakouts! Sure enough, I stopped the product and within a few days, my skin was back to normal. I am very upset because as someone who has extremely sensitive skin, this worked but unfortunately, the new formula isn’t for me.

Gentle and Perfect for Sensitive Skin
Style: 16.7 fl oz
This is a great micellar water! I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, and it hasn’t caused any redness or irritation at all. It removes makeup very easily and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed afterward. I also like to follow up with a mild face wash as part of a double cleanse routine; overall, it feels gentle, effective, and perfect for sensitive skin.

Whoa- I can’t believe this!
Style: 16.7 fl oz
I wanted to try this product for a very specific purpose, I have been looking at facial cleansing wipes to use occasionally at bedtime instead of stripping my face by doing a full wash with cleanser and water. I rarely wear makeup, I spend my energy on finding the best skincare products for my skin and sunscreen. So at bedtime usually, I’m just taking off sunscreen and the day’s grime, or if I didn’t go out, the day’s moisturizing products. I tried several brands of moist facial cleansing wipes, and they left behind a greasy film and my face still feels like it needs a full wash. I would never want to skip properly cleansing my skin, and I usually do a full routine while I shower, but it would be nice to be able to occasionally do something quicker and more convenient without sacrificing on quality. I was hoping this product might cleanse well without needing to be rinsed or breaking me out on occasions where I want something quick and convenient, or maybe am travelling and need a basic routine. Wow, this product is not only perfect for that, it actually makes my skin soft and clean, you’d never know I skipped my regular cleansing and just used this Bioderma product with a cotton pad before my nighttime moisturizers/serum. It completely takes off the day’s water resistant facial sunscreen and any sweat or grime and leaves my skin very clean, soft, not dry, and it feels like there is no residue whatsoever. I also don’t break out or get clogged pores, it is just a clean, soft texture. One cotton pad with product is all takes for my entire face to look and feel just as clean as if I had used my regular products (a cleansing balm followed by a foaming cleanser and lots of rinsing with water). I have used this micellar water quite a bit since receiving it, and have not broken out or had clogged pores from “cutting corners” so to speak. And it cleanses very well. I can’t believe how well it cleanses without needing to be rinsed, without irritating my skin, without clogging pores or causing breakouts, and is suitable to use and then put on my serum and nighttime moisturizer. I’ve even used it the next morning to remove the nighttime moisturizers and then put on my SPF. I worried that I was going to cause my skin not to look as good if I didn’t properly wash and rinse with water but this product is so amazing. I have not yet used it to see how well it removes makeup since I rarely wear any, but just for skincare and cleansing without a full wash with regular water, it is so amazing. Not going to sugarcoat it, this is me wanting a convenient routine when I travel but this is also me being lazy on nights when I’m very tired or mornings when I am in a hurry. I consider this one of my few holy grail skincare products. I have picked up a smaller size for travel. I will keep this on hand always. I’m not even looking at moist wipes anymore. (This product is more gentle and leaves no residue as compared to a dermatologist recommended brand of face wipes). I’m most surprised that it cleans my face so thoroughly and that not rinsing does not cause any irritation or breakouts. Just wow. Totally worth the price. I was going to try other brands but this product has been so good there is no need to.

Go to cleanser that’s simple, effective, and skin-friendly!
Style: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this micellar water. It removes my makeup on the first pass with no harsh rubbing or irritation. Even around the eyes, it feels soothing rather than stinging, which isn’t always the case with makeup removers. It’s also fragrance free and lightweight, so it doesn’t leave behind any greasy or sticky residue. Another major plus is the no-rinse formula. You can use it quickly with a cotton pad and be done, which makes it perfect for busy nights or when you just don’t feel like doing a full routine! It leaves your skin feeling clean, calm, and moisturized. Seriously gentle yet effective.

Gentle but removes makeup really well
Style: 16.7 fl oz
I really like this micellar water. I used to use a different brand, but I feel like this one does a better job removing my makeup while still being gentle on my skin. I have sensitive skin with rosacea, and I wear liner, mascara, and eyeshadow daily. This removes everything from my eyes without needing a lot of rubbing or effort, which I really appreciate. After using it, my skin feels very clean but also soft, not stripped or dry. Overall, this has become my favorite micellar water and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing it.
