It took me awhile to understand what that Senecio likes, oftentimes before, I only get very weak leaf growth, and it stays bare like a candle stick. Late summer last year, I have split up the plant and positioned them in bright light part sun areas, I noticed it grew much better, giving me a better bloom show and all the way to Fall, Winter and up to now, it has held on to its leaves.
The other half of this Senecio has grown really taller too, twice the size of the other ones, maybe got more root space in its present container or is trying now to chase more sun
I just enjoy them as it goes.
I placed the smaller container of Senecios, beside the other one, so you can see just how tall this plant can grow:
