This plant is toxic if eaten
- How should I care for my English Ivy to ensure it thrives indoors?
- Position your plant in a spot with moderate natural light and water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. English Ivy prefers cool temperatures and high humidity, so consider misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidity tray nearby.
- Is English Ivy suitable for homes with pets or small children?
- English Ivy is toxic if ingested, so it’s best kept out of reach of pets and young children. Consider using high shelves or hanging baskets to display the plant safely.
- Can I use this plant in a terrarium or with moss poles?
- English Ivy can be a great addition to terrariums due to its size and growth habit. For moss poles, its climbing nature makes it ideal to create a lush, vertical green display as it can easily cling and grow upwards.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hedera Helix English Ivy thrives in medium light conditions. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light levels, making it perfect for spaces that don’t get a lot of natural sunlight. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Ivy when the topsoil feels dry to the touch. It likes to be kept consistently moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in the winter months when plant growth naturally slows down.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Hedera Helix prefers average room temperatures between 15°C and 21°C. It can tolerate cooler temperatures down to about 10°C, but keep it away from draughty windows during the colder months.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
English Ivy benefits from moderate humidity. Regular misting or a pebble tray can help increase humidity levels, especially during dry winter months when indoor heating can reduce air moisture.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your Hedera Helix every two years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging and encourage healthy root growth.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is toxic if eaten, so it’s best kept out of reach of curious pets and children.
✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
Place your English Ivy in living rooms, hallways, or offices with indirect light. It can also flourish in bathrooms if there’s enough light, where extra humidity is a bonus!
🌬️🪴 Air Purifying
Hedera Helix is known for its air-purifying abilities. It helps remove toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air.
✨ Other Plant Features
Apart from its air-purifying qualities, English Ivy is valued for its attractive foliage and its versatility as either a climbing or hanging plant. It’s perfect for adding a touch of greenery to your space and creating that serene jungle vibe.
