Senecio vitalis is also called Blue Chalk Fingers and Narrow Leaf Chalk Sticks because of its elongated foliage which extends from the stem and gives it the appearance of having fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue Chalk Fingers has greyish-green leaves that are 2.75-inches to 5.95-inches long (7cm to 15cm). Senecio vitalis has a waxy coating which protects it from hot and dry conditions. Once the coating of the leaf is removed or rubbed off, the succulent\u2019s blue-green color will be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senecio vitalis can grow up to 24-inches (61cm) tall and 60-inches (152.4cm) wide. The species originates from the Asteraceae family and is native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_46 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\"><\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-69f1d7480b57f\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #36af73;color:#36af73\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #36af73;color:#36af73\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-69f1d7480b57f\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/senecio-vitalis\/#general-information\" title=\"General Information:\">General Information:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/senecio-vitalis\/#how-to-grow-and-care-for-senecio-vitalis\" title=\"How to Grow and Care for Senecio Vitalis\">How to Grow and Care for Senecio Vitalis<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/senecio-vitalis\/#how-to-propagate-senecio-vitalis\" title=\"How to Propagate Senecio Vitalis\">How to Propagate Senecio Vitalis<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/senecio-vitalis\/#frequently-asked-questions\" title=\"Frequently Asked Questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"general-information\"><\/span>General Information:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as: Blue Chalk Fingers and Narrow Leaf Chalk Stick<br>Plant Family: Asteraceae<br>Origin: Eastern Cape of South Africa<br>Height: 24-inches (61cm))<br>Exposure: Full sunlight up to 6 hours; partial sunlight up to 4 hours<br>Water Needs: Frequent watering schedule during the summer months; very little to no watering in the winter or cold season.<br>Soil Type: Cactus soil mix will do or a regular potting mix combined with 1 part Pine Bark fines, 1 part Turface, and 1 part crushed granite<br>Soil pH: Acidic (6.0 to 7.0 pH)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-grow-and-care-for-senecio-vitalis\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-grow-and-care-for-senecio-vitalis\"><\/span>How to Grow and Care for Senecio Vitalis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulents.png\" alt=\"Senecio Vitalis succulents\" class=\"wp-image-2680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulents.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulents-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulents-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulents-585x366.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Senecio vitalis is an easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/come-curare-per-gli-succulenti\/\">succulent to grow and take care<\/a> of. The plant will be an excellent addition to a Mediterranean garden or a Rock garden. Blue Chalk Fingers propagates very fast and because it spreads quickly, be aware of where you will plant the succulent outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that Senecio vitalis can be toxic. Wear nitrile-dipped gloves when handling Blue Chalk Fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senecio vitalis is not a cold hardy succulent. If you live in a region where the temperatures can drop below 30\u00b0 F (-1.1\u00b0 C), it would be best to place the plant in a container that can be moved indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-sunlight\">1. &nbsp; Sunlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If grown outdoors, place Senecio vitalis in an area in the garden that gets 6 hours of sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Senecio vitalis is brought indoors, place the container near a window that gets partial to full sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-watering\">2. &nbsp; Watering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Senecio vitalis is highly-resistant to drought and can survive long periods with water. The succulent is susceptible to root rot which is caused by overwatering. The best approach would be to water Blue Chalk Fingers only if the soil is dry to the touch and free of moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulent-care.png\" alt=\"Senecio Vitalis succulent care\" class=\"wp-image-2678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulent-care.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-succulent-care-180x300.png 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-pot-and-soil\">3. &nbsp; Pot and Soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for Senecio vitalis to be grown in a pot that has good drainage. If the succulent stays in moistened soil for a long period of time, its roots will rot and spread disease throughout the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The soil that you use to grow Senecio vitalis should also have good draining properties. A cactus soil mix will do or a regular potting mix combined with 1 part Pine Bark fines, 1 part Turface, and 1 part crushed granite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pine bark tends to hold water longer but has air pockets that allow proper ventilation. Turface which is an absorbent-type of rock takes in some of the water before slowly draining it out. The crushed granite helps clear out the excess water to keep the soil dry.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-propagate-senecio-vitalis\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-propagate-senecio-vitalis\"><\/span>How to Propagate Senecio Vitalis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t have a hard time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/come-coltivare-succulenti\/\">propagating Senecio vitalis as the succulent<\/a> is a prolific propagator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagating Blue Chalk Fingers by using stem cuttings is the recommended method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Because Senecio vitalis can be toxic, put on a pair of nitrile-dipped gloves before proceeding to cut the stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Use a sharp and sterilized knife or garden shears to cut the stem from near the base of the main plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-plants.png\" alt=\"Senecio Vitalis plants\" class=\"wp-image-2679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-plants.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-plants-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-plants-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Senecio-Vitalis-plants-585x366.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Place the stem cutting under a shaded area and allow it to dry and develop hard calluses.
