About This Botanical
English Ivy 'Glacier'
A compact English ivy with silver-marbled leaves. It is a low-fuss trailing plant for lower-light rooms.
How to care for English ivy
- Light: low to medium light. Bright, indirect light gives the best growth. Too much sun bleaches or scorches the leaves.
- Water: keep the soil evenly, lightly moist. Check the top 1 to 2 inches and water when it is barely moist at that depth. Overwatering is the most common mistake.
- Propagation: cut 4 to 5 inch shoots and root them in a well-lit spot out of direct sun. Keep the medium moist; cuttings root in 6 to 8 weeks.
- Keep it contained: English ivy is invasive outdoors, so keep clippings from sprouting in the garden.
