{"product_id":"wax-ivy-6","title":"Wax Ivy 6”","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"555\"\u003eSenecio macroglossus, commonly called Wax Ivy, is a trailing succulent vine grown for its glossy ivy-shaped leaves. Native to South Africa, it grows in warm, dry environments where it climbs and trails through surrounding vegetation. What makes this plant special is the way it resembles traditional ivy while behaving more like a succulent, with thicker, waxy leaves that store moisture. The foliage is deep green to variegated depending on the cultivar, with pointed lobes and smooth, slightly shiny surfaces along trailing stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"579\"\u003eLight requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"582\"\u003ePlace Wax Ivy in an \u003cstrong data-start=\"602\" data-end=\"626\"\u003eeast or south window\u003c\/strong\u003e for the best growth and structure, positioned at the window or within 1 to 2 feet depending on intensity.

The thicker leaves store moisture, making this plant sensitive to overwatering. Use a fast-draining mix and provide steady airflow. It adapts well to average indoor humidity and prefers warmer temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1673\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1434\"\u003eWhat your plant is telling you\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003eIf leaves begin to wrinkle or feel thinner, it is ready for water. If stems become soft or leaves yellow and drop, the soil is staying too wet. If vines become stretched with wider spacing between leaves, it needs more consistent light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rooted Plant Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42861570162786,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/1269\/8722\/files\/D37816FB-E5EE-467B-8BBE-B197F4238A00.jpg?v=1778108656","url":"https:\/\/therootedplantshop.com\/products\/wax-ivy-6","provider":"The Rooted Plant Shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
