Product Details
Weight: 10.00 kg
Botanical Name: Senecio macroglossus ‘Variegatus’

📌 Product Description
Senecio macroglossus ‘Variegatus’ is an attractive evergreen trailing or climbing plant valued for its glossy, ivy-like leaves edged with creamy white variegation. Despite resembling ivy, it is actually a succulent vine, making it more drought tolerant than true ivy species.
The plant produces slender stems that can either climb with support or cascade beautifully from hanging baskets and containers. In the right conditions, it may also produce small yellow daisy-like flowers.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Variegated Wax Ivy adds bright foliage contrast to gardens, patios, and indoor plant displays.
