Senecio macroglossus 'Variegated Wax Ivy'

Embracing the allure of its wax-like foliage, Senecio macroglossus 'Variegated Wax Ivy' is a captivating vine native to South Africa. This particular variety stands out with its glossy, variegated leaves that mimic the appearance of ivy, featuring a vibrant mix of green, cream, and sometimes even hints of pink. The leaves are thick, succulent, and shaped like those of a traditional ivy, making it a unique specimen in the world of succulents.

Reaching lengths of up to 3-6 feet when allowed to climb or trail, this plant is versatile in its display. It can be grown as a hanging basket plant, where its tendrils will gracefully spill over the sides, or trained to climb up trellises or stakes, showcasing its full vining glory. Not just a pretty face, the 'Variegated Wax Ivy' also blooms with small, daisy-like, yellow flowers that add a cheerful pop of color against its creamy foliage.

Though it thrives in bright, indirect light, it is more shade-tolerant than many other succulents, making it a suitable option for indoor gardeners looking to add a touch of the tropics to their decor. Additionally, its drought-tolerant nature makes it a forgiving choice for those new to plant care or those who occasionally forget to water.

With its striking foliage and easy-care attitude, Senecio macroglossus 'Variegated Wax Ivy' is a delightful addition to any plant collection, bringing a piece of South African beauty into homes and gardens around the world.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
