Oreja de cordero tiene buena resistencia a las enfermedades y, en general, no es propensa a ellas. En cuanto a los cuidados, esta planta requiere relativamente poco mantenimiento. Cuando se planta en exteriores necesita riegos mínimos y las plantas de mayor tamaño por lo general no precisan poda. Sin embargo, las plantas más pequeñas deben podarse después de que hayan florecido. Oreja de corderot es apta para cualquier persona que disponga de un espacio al aire libre, como un jardín o una cubierta, y no requiere mucha experiencia en cuidados.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Senecio Candidans.

Light

Oreja de cordero comes from open habitats, such as sunny meadows and forest edges, which offer abundant light. It does best in Full Sun but can also tolerate Partial Sun, adjusting well to a range of sunlight conditions.

Temperature

Oreja de cordero demonstrates good temperature adaptability, tolerating higher heat and wide temperature swings. In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and adequate shading should be provided to avoid sunburn. Conversely, Oreja de cordero is relatively intolerant of low temperatures; although it can endure some cold, very low temperatures may cause frost damage.

Fertilizer

Applying fertilizer at the right time is essential for Oreja de cordero. Begin fertilizing in early spring and continue monthly until early summer. Fertilizer promotes attractive blooms and provides energy during both dormancy and active growth.
