These beautiful, vining plants will add life and bright, green foliage to your home. They can be easy to grow if cared for properly. They appreciate cooler temperatures, as low at 50 degrees, and a moist, humid environment. They also do well as outdoor plants but would recommend doing further research on outdoor plants before going forward.
-
Soil
Almost any loose, well-draining potting mix will be sufficient for your Ivy. Our go-to recommendation for a high-quality soil that’s fast draining is Fox Farms Ocean Forest.
-
Watering
Ivy appreciate evenly moist soil but not soggy or waterlogged. Feel the soil and when the top inch or so is dry, give it a nice watering. Make sure to discard any excess water that drains to avoid root rot.
-
Sunlight
Ivy will thrive in bright, indirect light. Full direct sun in the summer can cause the leaves to dry and burn.
-
Humidity
Misting Ivy frequently or having a humidifier or pebble tray near by will help with growth. They love humidity.
-
Fertilization
When it comes to fertilizing Ivy, they will only need it in the spring and summer months, biweekly. Fertilizer is not necessary in the winter months for your Ivy.
