Senecio macroglossus, commonly known as Wax Ivy or Natal Ivy, is a trailing succulent plant with glossy green leaves.

Appearance: Senecio macroglossus green has elongated, fleshy leaves that are typically bright green in colour. The leaves are smooth and glossy, giving the plant a lush and attractive appearance. The foliage is similar in shape to ivy leaves, hence the common names.

Growth Habit: Senecio macroglossus green has a trailing or cascading growth habit. It sends out long, trailing stems that can reach several feet in length. The plant can be grown in hanging baskets or trained to climb up a trellis or support.

Lighting Requirements: Senecio macroglossus green thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but prefers a well-lit spot. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves. Placing the plant near a north-facing or east-facing window can provide suitable lighting.

Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers average to warm temperatures between 18-24°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from drafts and temperature extremes. Senecio macroglossus green adapts well to normal room humidity levels.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry. It is more drought-tolerant than many other succulents, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Soil and Fertiliser: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for succulents. A mixture of cactus potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand is commonly used. Fertilise the plant sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser diluted according to the package instructions.

Pruning and Maintenance: Prune to control its size and shape. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to promote bushier growth. Regularly remove any yellowed or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and overall health.

Senecio macroglossus green is a visually appealing trailing plant with its glossy green foliage and cascading growth habit. With the right care and conditions, it can add a touch of green beauty to your indoor or outdoor space.
