Its small to medium-sized lobed leaves feature a unique variegated pattern with a creamy-white margin and green center, adding a stunning visual effect to any space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith glossy leaves and a slightly wavy edge, this plant also has a pleasing aesthetic appeal. It grows at a slower rate than traditional English Ivy, which makes it easier to manage indoors. On average, it reaches 1-3 feet in length (30-90 cm) indoors, but can grow even longer if provided with support. Its dense and compact growth habit makes it suitable for indoor pots, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAraliaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 -6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place English ivy in a location where they get filtered light, such as a bright window. North or West facing windows are best as these do not allow direct sunlight all day. In harsh sunlight, they become bleached or dry. Ivies respond well to artificial fluorescent light conditions. Place your plants 6\" to 10\" from the fluorescent tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water thoroughly but infrequently. When the soil feels dry, gently add water to the soil until the surface is totally wet and the water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Then do not water again until the soil is almost dry. Do not allow pots to stand continually in water..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mist the leaves several times a week with a spray bottle. Mist your plant more frequently in the summer growing season- the more water you can supply the blooms, the healthier it will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Growth may cease completely below 70 F, but will resume when warmer weather returns. In winter, English Ivy plants need a 6 week rest period at a with little water. This allows the plant to flower profusely again in the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any good potting mix that drains well. Mix of potting soil and orchid soil or perlite will provide the kind of soil English Ivy prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Variegated plants also need less fertilizer than green-leaved ivy because they're less able to use the extra nutrients. Over-fertilizing these plants can cause build-up of fertilizer components in the soil, which can interfere with the ability of roots to take up water. This can also cause leaves to turn brown..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLandscape Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e It looks great in containers and hanging baskets and trained as topiary.
