Candle Plant - Baculellum articulatus ( Kleinia articulata, Senecio articulatus)

A beautiful curious succulent - Sausage segments, Green and flushed purple.

Also known as previous name  Kleinia articulata, Senecio articulatus, and the Sausage plant due to its stems.

It can reach a height of 60 cm, but spreads slowly by underground stems. The stem segments are thick and fleshy and can grow up to 10 cm long

They are grey-green with darker green or purple markings just below the petioles. The leaves are green, flushed purple when exposed to intense light, usually divided into leaflets, and can measure up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) long. The plant loses its leaves and goes dormant in summer.

The white flowers usually appear in winter in small corymbs that can reach a diameter 1.3 cm.
