Highlights
Variegated Wax Ivy (aka Jade Vine) (Senecio macroglossus f. variegatus) (DeCandolle): Twisty, trailing vine with purple stems. The foliage is ivy-like and a glossy dark green with a wide, creamy white edge. This is a fast, vigorous trailing plant that grow over 3.0' long. Exposure to direct sun can induce purple stress flushing. It makes an exceptional choice for hanging baskets and can occasionally flower with pale yellow, daisy-like blooms. In the wild, it grows in and around the forests of South Africa, spreading along the ground.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
