Senecio Curio articulatus and Ledebouria socialis- any experiences?

I'm tempted to buy these seeds and bulbs to grow as houseplants.

Does anyone grow them? I'd be particularly grateful for any advise of seed germination of the Senecios and growth rate of all.

Very tempting plants

I grow both of these but I bought them as plants many years ago (in fact the Senecio was a gift from someone)
They grow very slowly and will withstand lots of neglect. They're easy to propagate from cuttings.
The Senecio flowers every year but they look like tufty thistles.
The Ledebouria also flowers every year.

 

Thanks @Michael Hewett , somehow I knew you would have plants like these in your portfolio

Would it be possible to share some photos of your plants please? Do they stay indoors year round or do you take them outdoors in the summer?

I don't mind slow growing as such but as I already have a great collection of seed grown pinheads I might want to buy a plant rather than seeds or bulbs instead for a slightly faster display. (My Agave Victoriae-reginae are now in their third year and nearly scrape the ceiling at approximately 3cm tall... )

 

I've got lots of cuttings, I could send you some if you like.
If you do want some give me your address in a pm and I'll post them next week.

I'll look for some photos but they're all mixed up so I don't know if I can find any. I shall try ...

Bulbs ...



Flowers ...



I can't find photos of the Senecio I know they're there somewhere and if I'd put them in order as they were taken I'd be able to find them but I am not a very organised person

 

Had three Aeoniums arrive today from Surreal Succulents'.

I'm sure the variegation and colouring will come out as the light levels get better.

"firecracker" should have dark red outer leaves with just a green centre.

"Kiwi"

"Starburst".

 

Just realised I put this on the end of another thread.
