senecio & clematis co-existing

Hi I'm new to the forum and in much need of advice please.
I'm a budding gardener helping a neighbour and this is the problem.
A big Senecio plant has been growing well at the bottom of a fence in a full sun area of the garden, but behind the senecio, growing up the fence, are clematis and passionflower plants which need feeding & regular water. I have been feeding the clematis and now the senecio has developed orange spot fungus.
Would it be better to remove the senecio and transplant to another dry sunny spot and can I do that now or would it be better to wait until the autumn/spring? As senecio is a succulent, I'm assuming it won't co-exist happily with the clematis if fed/watered too much!!
Thank you in advance.

Yes you could wait until Autumn then you could have issues with trying to establish it over the winter months. I don't think I can advise you the best way, whatever you do may not result in a positive outcome.
Sorry I did see your post yesterday but was unable to come back to you.Welcome!
