English Ivy (Hedera helix) is a versatile, easy-to-grow houseplant that makes an excellent gift. Boasting waxy dark green leaves with creamy white veins, English Ivy takes center stage in this reclaimed wood container and plays a supporting role as an accent for other houseplants. It can be easily trained on a trellis or shaped into a topiary. It tolerates low to medium light conditions, prefers a moist soil, and prunes to any size.
The benefits of English Ivy don't stop at beauty and low maintenance. Houseplants increase the quality of our lives and contribute to our overall well-being. Plants in the home help us breathe easier by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; by removing toxins to purify the air; and by increasing the humidity in the air, reducing dry skin, colds, sore throats, and coughs. There are even studies showing that houseplants reduce stress and sickness, boost creativity, and increase focus and productivity.
Add this classic plant to your home today for beauty, ease, and endless health benefits.
Warning: English Ivy is not pet friendly.

Ivy prefers a well-drained, evenly moist soil. Water when the soil surface is dry to the touch. Be sure to drain excess water so there is no standing water at the bottom of the container. If the roots stay soggy, the plant is at risk of root rot.
Apply a complete liquid fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season, typically spring and summer, but avoid fertilizing when the plant is stressed due to high heat or excess cold.
Jackson & Perkins offers a selection of fertilizer & plant care products. We suggest using AlgoPlus fertilizer for the general health and maintenance of your plant.
IMPORTANT: Ornamental plant material should not be eaten. Keep away from pets and children.
