8" Hanging Ivy

One of the reasons for the popularity of ivy (and English ivy in particular) as a houseplant is how adaptable it is to different conditions. While some level of bright light is preferred for optimal growth, most variegated ivy can stand being in slightly darker and more shady areas. Ivy also prefers mild temperatures and doesn't like to get too hot or too cool.

North- or east-facing windowsills are all good places to keep your indoor ivy plant.

You should allow your ivy plant to dry slightly between waterings. The soil should feel dry to the touch to a depth of around 1/2 inch before you water.
