Variegated Wax Ivy

A trailing vine with ivy-shaped leaves variegated in ivory and green, flushing pink in bright light.

Quick Care: Highly Toxic, Indirect Light, Moderate Water, Gritty Soil

A trailing or climbing succulent vine native to southern Africa, prized for its thick, waxy, ivy-shaped leaves marbled with cream and pale yellow margins. Despite its striking physical resemblance to English Ivy (Hedera helix), it belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae) and features flexible, reddish-purple stems that occasionally produce small yellow ray flowers in high-light environments. Cultivated widely as a low-maintenance indoor houseplant or hanging basket accent, it thrives in bright indirect sunlight and porous, well-draining potting media that is allowed to dry out between waterings.
