English ivy is a beautiful, low-maintenance houseplant that thrives indoors, adding elegance and purifying the air. Its trailing vines and glossy leaves make it a popular choice for plant enthusiasts of all levels.
This plant is known for its low-light tolerance, making it perfect for indoor spaces with limited sunlight. To keep your ivy healthy, provide moderate temperatures (65°F–75°F), 40-60% humidity, and bright, indirect light.
Choose well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic pH (5.8–6.5). Use a pot with ample drainage holes and lightweight materials like plastic or glazed ceramic for the best results.
Water your ivy when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring it’s not overwatered to prevent root rot. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced formula to maintain its lush growth.
Expand your indoor garden by propagating ivy using water or soil methods. Watch out for common pests like spider mites and aphids, and take action promptly to keep your ivy thriving.
