Maintenance

English Ivy benefits from regular dusting to prevent dust buildup on its leaves. Additionally, Ivy enjoys climbing, so consider using garden ties or hooks to guide its growth in desired directions.

Light: Ivy grows best in bright light, but not direct sun. They tolerate low to medium light, but growth is reduced and variegated forms may turn all green.
Water & Humidity: Water when the top of the soil dries out. Ivy likes moist but not wet soil, so your goal should be to water deeply so that water comes out of the pot’s drainage holes. After a few hours, the soil should feel like a well-wrung-out sponge. Let the top inch dry out a bit before adding more water. Ivy prefers higher humidity (40% or more). Try a pebble tray or misting often.
Temperature: Ideal temperature is 65-85°F
Food: Feed English ivy every two weeks during the spring and summer season, using a 20-20-20 fertilizer (or a 2-2-2 organic formula). Do not use fertilizer or plant food if the plant is in a stressful situation: very hot, very cold, or very dry soil, or when leaf production has stopped.
Toxicity: Moderately toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
Growers Tips: Can benefit from regular dusting, as the leaves easily accumulate dust. Ivy loves to climb, you can encourage your plant with garden ties or hooks to guide it where you would like.
