Ivy is hearty and pretty self sufficient as long as you water it periodically. It can pull itself through dry times and can take a beating and keep on growing. Keep an eye out for spider mites in dry times but that’s the only concern with these plants.

It’s best to get a big one. Small ones grow slow and their tendrils stick upwards which looks terrible on high shelves, so I moved one of mine to a hanging pot

It’s important to turn this plant occasionally so that the leaves grow and are shaped the way you prefer :)

I have a love hate relationship with Ivys. They really grind my gears. This is my fourth Ivy and every single Ivy I’ve had has died. I’ve tried watering less, watering more, MISTING THE DAMN THING. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’m hoping this one decides not to die. Hard to keep alive, but pretty.

Be careful to put your ivy in a good area. They are very light sensitive as I’ve learned. A ways away from direct light but in a decently lit room!

jason has been forgotten about for a long time so when we found him again we decided to trim his dead leaves and plant him in the ground with a rock to grow on and he’s started to grow taller with more little leaves we’re very proud of him

Make sure to test it out to see if your ivy enjoys shade or sun. I’m a new plant parent so this might make some experts upset Bc I’m probably supposed to know all about the plant. But my ivy wasn’t growing and didn’t seem happy in the light so I moved him to a shelf corner and he stared thriving!

I’ve had this English Ivy for 4 months. It is easy to look after. I have mine positioned in my bathroom positioned in a east facing window. I’ve realised Ivy can grow in light limited environments. Propagation is easy with this plant. I’ve propagated in water, it takes a 3-4 weeks. In my work they have Ivy that has not been nurtured well, not potted regularly or watered consistently. It survives even in those conditions.

he likes to brown and crisp if he is under watered or over watered- doesn’t like full sun either, doesn’t tolerate lots of water for bottom waters
