ENGLISH IVY (HEDERA HELIX)
Hedera helix, or English Ivy, is a vigorous, evergreen, trailing plant usually seen covering walls, slopes, grounds, and flower bed borders. This easy-to-grow plant has eye-catching triangular, creamy white-marked, lush green leaves and fast-growing vines that root as they climb. Ivy has dainty yet strong and sturdy trailing vines, making it one of the most resilient evergreen ground covers. Ivy is also one of the best air-purifying houseplants with a wonderful toxin-removing effect.
English Ivy is a perfect, low-maintenance houseplant for any living space. Our healthy plants come directly from California to you. Upon receiving your plant, simply open the box and position it on a well-ventilated, sunlit windowsill. Water only when the soil feels dry to the touch.
CARE GUIDE
Light
- English Ivy thrives in bright, indirect light, so it's important to place it in a location where it will receive plenty of natural light.
- Keep in mind that direct, direct scorching sun will burn its leaves. Donβt expose them to direct sunlight other than the very early morning.
- This plant can tolerate some low-light conditions, but too little lighting can cause leggy growth.
- If you're growing this plant indoors, try to place it near an east-facing window, where itβll receive bright, but not harsh, morning sunlight. A north-facing window is an alternative for your plant to get plenty of indirect light all day long.
- You can also use artificial lighting to supplement natural light, particularly during the winter months when daylight hours are shorter.
Water
- This plant has moderate watering needs. The soil should be slightly moist but not waterlogged.
- Water only when the top inch of the soil is dry to the touch.
- Water deeply, but don't let the plant sit in standing water. Make sure to empty any excess water that collects in the saucer or tray beneath the pot. Waterlogging may cause root rot.
- Adjust your watering schedule based on the time of year and environmental conditions. Reduce watering in the cold months.
- It is recommended to use only rainwater or distilled water.
Temperature & Humidity
- English Ivy prefers moderate temperatures and is comfortable in the typical indoor temperature range of 60-80Β°F.
- It can tolerate lower temperatures at night (around 50Β°F).
- It needs to be protected from prolonged freezing temperatures.
- English Ivy prefers moderate humidity levels of around 40-50%. It grows well in normal room humidity. You can use a humidifier if your room is too dry.
- While this plant enjoys some humid air, it is important to ensure your room has good airflow to prevent stagnant air that would be a breeding ground for mold, fungal diseases and pests.
Soil & Fertilizer
- This plant prefers well-draining soil.
- You can choose any type of high-quality ready-made houseplant soil.
- You can also mix your own soil using general houseplant soil, perlite, and peat to increase drainage and aeration.
- Fertilizing English Ivy is essential to promote healthy growth. During the growing season (spring and summer), use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
- Reduce or suspend fertilization during the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
- Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can harm the plant. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer label.

3/11 update: updating to 5 stars. There was a note in the box about how the plant might be a little moody post arrival Γ°ΕΈΛβ¦I decided that 47 was going to be the age when I keep houseplants alive. The last time I kept a plant alive (and it THRIVED) was 2000-2001 so, yeah, I'm up against the odds. That said, it was an ivy plant that did really well and that I loved having. After several plantless years, I was ready. I could not find a single ivy plant locally (yay, rural america!) so I decided to take the plunge and order this one from Amazon. I was a bit anxious.The plant arrived very-well packaged. I unwrapped it carefully, checked the soil, gave it a little water and set it in my bedroom. A few days later it was droopy and miserable. I read somewhere recently that if an ivy plant looks underwatered, it's probably overwatered and if it looks overwatered, it's probably underwatered. The soil was very dry and yet, to me, the droopiness looked like the plant was saturated. I watered it and within 36 hours it had perked right up.I later read on a site that ships plants that they sometimes have a slight adjustment phase, so that's my assumption here.A bit pricy for a houseplant but considering I had zero options, I was fine with that. I then found two random ivy plants in the florist section of our locally grocery store and was very happy about that.

It was cute when I got it. A small healthy sprig but it died. First I was worried too much water than not enough. I thought ivy was fool proof.

The plant does not look like what was pictured. Also, it appeared limp. I'm waiting to see if it will come out of it.

The ivy came about 1 inch tall with only 3 leaves on it. It died within a few short days. Very disappointed in this product.

When I unboxed and unwrapped the plant upon arrival, it already had some wilted and shriveled leaves. Part of it looked ok, but it obviously wasn't all healthy and thriving, which is kind of disappointing.
