Senecio mikanioides (Variegated German Ivy)
Senecio mikanioides
Senecio mikanioides, or Variegated German Ivy, offers a lush, vibrant look similar to traditional English Ivy, though it is not a true ivy. This plant boasts plump, fleshy leaves beautifully variegated with shades of green and yellow. It's a versatile climber that can also flourish in a hanging basket, adding a cascade of color to any indoor or outdoor setting.
In a well-lit spot, Variegated German Ivy will reward you with charming yellow daisy-like flowers, enhancing its decorative appeal. This plant is easy to care for, thriving in bright, indirect light and requiring regular watering to maintain its lush appearance. Whether used for climbing up trellises or spilling over the edges of baskets, this ivy is a stunning addition to any plant collection.
