Description

The ivy plant Hedera helix, or English ivy, is a popular houseplant because of its versatility and the aesthetic value of its diamond-shaped, dark green leaves. English ivy is a vigorous grower that drapes beautifully from a hanging basket.

Fun Fact: Recent research indicates that outside ivy can help keep buildings cooler in the summer and drier in the winter.

Hedera is one of the easiest houseplants to care for. They can be placed almost anywhere in the house that receives natural light.

They may need some root trimming on shoots that become long and untidy. Otherwise, just let them do their thing, and they will still thrive!

Green varieties are better in low-light areas than more variegated types.
