English Ivy

Brief Description

English Ivy is an evergreen woody vine that can grow as a groundcover or climb surfaces using aerial rootlets. It has dark green, lobed leaves, typically with 3 to 5 lobes. The leaves are alternating on the stem.

Care Instructions

English Ivy prefers partial to full shade and well-drained soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during dry periods. It can be invasive in some regions, so pruning may be necessary to control its spread. Indoor plants thrive in bright, indirect light and consistent moisture.
