Wax Ivy

Senecio macroglossus also known as Wax Ivy is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to southern Africa, from Zimbabwe and Mozambique to eastern South Africa. Growing to 3 m or more, it is an evergreen climber with waxy triangular leaves to 8 cm long.

Established Senecios are extremely drought tolerant. They do need some water, during the summer, but do not leave the soil wet for prolonged periods. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings in winter, when they are somewhat dormant. Since they are growing in sandy soil, nutrients will need to be replenished.
