Description:
Wilcoxia viperina, is a climbing plant whose name was chosen in honor of the plant enthusiast Timothy Wilcox. The term 'viper' was associated with it due to its creeping posture, like a viper. This species has a large and tuberous root which constitutes an underground reserve of water and nutrients. Its branches can reach 2 meters, while the thorns, which cover the stem, can range from light to dark shades. The stem is green and tends to darken towards the top. In summer it produces beautiful flowers that can have white, pink but also reddish shades.

Plant care:
It requires an exposure in a rather shady place: it is advisable to expose this plant to direct sunlight only during the cooler hours, for the rest of the day it needs to be located in a bright place though avoiding direct sun rays.
It prefers mild temperatures, it is advisable to shelter it when winter temperatures drop below 10-12 °C.
Water moderately in summer, making sure the soil is dry before proceeding with a new watering. In winter, especially if the plant is placed in closed or not very bright environments, it is advisable to water it only once a month, or when the soil is completely dry.
A well-draining substrate is an optimal solution, when mixed with coarse sand and lapilli.
