Curio Mount Everest

Curio ficoides ‘Everest’ – Blue Chalk Tower 🏔️🌿

Curio 'Everest' (formerly Senecio ficoides) is a bold, architectural succulent with upright, powdery blue stems and fleshy, finger-like leaves. Resembling miniature icy mountain peaks, it adds a cool-toned, sculptural element to succulent displays and modern containers.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive frosty blue foliage with a matte finish
✔ Upright, towering habit – great for height in arrangements
✔ Very drought-tolerant and easy-care
✔ Excellent for pots, rock gardens, or succulent borders
✔ Can produce small white flowers in summer

Care Instructions:

• Light: Loves bright, direct sunlight – best colour develops with full sun

• Watering: Water sparingly – allow soil to completely dry out between waterings

• Soil: Requires well-draining cactus or succulent compost

• Feeding: Feed lightly in spring/summer with a low-nitrogen cactus feed

• Temperature: Prefers warmth – protect from frost (keep above 5°C)

• Growth: Can grow tall over time – pinch back to control height and encourage branching

🌿 Tip: Perfect for pairing with warm-toned succulents for a striking contrast, or plant solo in a matte pot for a sleek, sculptural look.
