🌿 Senecio archeri ‘Himalaya’ Care Guide

The Himalaya is a dreamy succulent with slender, silvery-blue leaves that look like frosty icicles. Compact, sculptural, and easy to care for, it adds a cool, calming vibe to any plant shelf or windowsill.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Can handle some direct morning or late-afternoon sun

• Avoid harsh midday rays that may scorch its delicate leaves

💧 Water

• Water using the “soak and dry” method—let soil dry out completely between drinks

• Very drought-tolerant—less is more with watering

• Make sure the pot has excellent drainage

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves low to average humidity (perfect for most homes)

• Doesn’t need misting—too much moisture can cause rot

🍽️ Feeding

• Light cactus or succulent fertilizer every 6–8 weeks in spring and summer

• No feeding needed during autumn and winter rest

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate occasionally to keep its shape even

• Perfect for sunny windowsills, shelves, or as part of a succulent display

• Not pet-safe—keep away from cats and dogs
