Senecio Macroglossus Proven Winner
3.5” POT
(Variegated Wax Ivy)
Cocoon Collection - Low light plants for calming spaces. These plants are homebodies, preferring to spend their time in the lower light levels of interior rooms or those with smaller windows. Their sanctuary is a room that faces North or east.
WorkLife Collection - Space-saving plant for desks, shelves and tabletops. When space is at a premium, choose these low-maintenance, compact and vertical plants to occupy just a sliver of your workspace.
Although Senecio Macroglossus is sometimes called Wax Ivy, it is more closely related to the succulents of South Africa than the common English Ivy. The leaves have a cream coloured variegation and a beautiful waxy coating.

Maintenance Notes:
* For optimal performance, keep your Succulent at 60-85F (15-29C)
* Succulents love sunlight, and will perform best in a bright, sunny location that receives 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. A windowsill or position with sunny southern exposure is ideal.
* If your succulent is getting leggy or leaning to one side, it is stretching for sunlight. Move it to a brighter location and rotate your plant regularly to ensure even growth.
* Succulents are drought tolerant, and prefer to dry out in between waterings.
* Feed your Succulent once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months.
* Succulents grow best in a Cactus & Succulent Soil Mix or in an all-purpose potting mix with added sand and perlite to ensure sharp drainage.
