The Ivy plant is one of the most popular and easy-to-care-for houseplants, known for its ability to thrive in a wide range of indoor conditions. It is an attractive vine with heart-shaped, glossy green leaves that are variegated with shades of yellow, gold, or cream, giving it its "Golden" moniker. The plant is often seen climbing or trailing, making it a great choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a cascading floor plant.
Sunlight:
Prefers bright, indirect light, but it is one of the most adaptable plants and can tolerate low light conditions. In lower light, the variegation on the leaves may become less pronounced, and growth may slow down.
Water:
Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Ivy’s are relatively drought-tolerant and can withstand some neglect in watering, making them ideal for beginners.
Temperature:
Ivy’s thrive in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C). They do not like temperatures below 50°F (10°C), so they should be kept away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and heaters.
They are well-suited to typical indoor temperatures and can adapt to the average room temperature of most homes.
