Description
English Ivy can be used outdoors to quickly cover walls and fences and be used as a ground cover that purifies the air. English ivy can also be used as a fast-growing houseplant that's very easy to care for. Light : English ivy can grow in a variety of light conditions, but prefers bright light without direct sun. It can also be grown with artificial light or near a window that faces north, east, or west. Watering : Water English ivy thoroughly, then allow the top half inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Avoid letting the plant stand in water. Soil : Plant English ivy in a loose, rich potting mix with good drainage. Fertilizing : Fertilize English ivy once a month during its growing season, which is from early spring to early autumn. Avoid fertilizing during the hottest part of summer or in the winter. If you live in a cold climate we recommend that you add a 72 hour heat pack to your order so that your plants don't freeze in shipping.

You can mist it every other day to increase humidity. Pruning : Regular pruning isn't necessary, but you can remove excess length from the trailing stems. ROOTING: To root English ivy from cuttings in water, take a 6 to 10 inch stem cutting with a few leaves, remove the bottom 2-3 leaves, place the cut end in a glass of fesh water, ensure the nodes where the leaves were removed are submerged, keep in bright indirect light, and change the water every 3-4 days until the roots develop: once the roots are a couple of inches long, transplant the cutting into well drained potting soil or plant outside.
