Hello, all. Can anyone tell me what type of Senecio I've bought? The label only said "Senecio," the people at the garden center didn't know, and it doesn't seem to match any of the pictures I've found online. It almost looks like Senecio crassissimis or Senecio decaryi, but as you can see, mine has somewhat toothed, slightly pointed leaves (while the others have smooth-edged, more oval-ended, paddle-shaped leaves). I'd love to know both its Latin and common names, if possible! Also, is it normal for this plant's lower leaves to lay sort of flat while the rest of the plant stands upright, or are its flattened leaves an indication of a problem? It's sitting in a south-facing window, and I'm in coastal Maine where the light at this window can be bright but cloudy. Thanks in advance for any information or advice on caring for this plant!

Welcome!

I don't know what it is. Your best option is to "Suggest a Change" and move your post to either the Cactus and Succulent Forum or to the Plant ID Forum. I think you will get better answers in one of those forums.

The "Suggest a Change" button is just below this text box at the bottom of the right hand column.
