Trailing Jade Senecio Jacobsenii

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness Senecio Jacobsenii, or Trailing/Vining/Weeping Jade, is a creeping, easy-care succulent species native to Kenya and Tanzania. Once belonging to Senecio genus, Jacobsenii is now reclassified and put into the Kleinia family. Jacobsenii means Niels Jacobsen- the name of a Danish professor specializing in succulents. Trailing Jade Senecio Jacobsenii is often confused with Crassula Jade, but they are two different species. They both have flat, teardrop-shaped leaves densely packed around thick succulent stems, but Crassula Jade (or Crassula ovata) does not have trailing vines. Senecio Jacobsenii has lush green leaves that turn into vibrant magenta and bordeaux color when sun stressed. This plant can trail up to 4 feet in length. During the growing season in Spring-Summer, Senecio Jacobsenii blooms orange flowers with a cheesy smell. Trailing Jade thrives in bright light and can tolerate direct sunlight. Don't forget to gradually acclimate you
