4" Variegated Wax Ivy

Wax Ivy (Senecio macroglossus) is a trailing succulent with glossy green leaves that resemble ivy. Here are simple care instructions:

1. Light: Place in bright, indirect light. Wax Ivy can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning sun, but avoid intense afternoon sun.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and let excess water drain away. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.

3. Humidity: Wax Ivy is tolerant of average indoor humidity levels. It doesn't require misting, but appreciates occasional increases in humidity.

4. Temperature: Keep in a warm environment, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperature extremes.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Adding perlite or coarse sand can improve drainage.

6. Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.

By following these simple care tips, your Wax Ivy should thrive and maintain its attractive trailing habit indoors.
