Kleinia amaniensis, commonly known as Amani Senecio, is an evergreen succulent shrub native to the Eastern Arc Mountains and coastal forests of Tanzania. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters), featuring fleshy, blue-green leaves and branching stems that give it a robust appearance. The Amani Senecio blooms with small, inconspicuous flowers that are not the main attraction of the plant. Its natural habitat includes rocky outcrops and dry forested areas where it has adapted to thrive in well-drained soils.

Amani Senecio is valued for its sculptural foliage and drought tolerance, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and as a container plant for patios and indoor settings. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal water once established, and it can tolerate a range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. Gardeners should be aware that this succulent prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. While it is not commonly afflicted by pests or diseases, overwatering can lead to issues such as fungal infections.CC BY-SA 4.0
