Sun: Indirect

English Ivy Variegated thrive in medium light conditions but exhibit faster growth with brighter light. Ideal spots for medium light in your home include areas situated in the middle of a room with standard-sized windows. Keep in mind that plant growth is influenced by the amount of light they receive.

Light: Medium

Avoid exposing English Ivy Variegated directly to sunlight, although early morning or late evening sun is acceptable. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is optimal, as most homes primarily have indirect sunlight. Ideally, place them where they won't receive direct sunlight for most of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Water: When mostly dry

For optimal growth, English Ivy Variegated plants prefer the soil to be slightly dry before the next watering cycle. Typically, this occurs every two weeks in a standard indoor setting. However, factors such as seasonal changes, environmental conditions, and lighting can influence watering frequency. It's advisable to err on the side of underwatering, observing signs like drooping or soft leaves as indicators for watering. During warmer months, increase watering frequency accordingly.

Humidity: Medium

For optimal growth, English Ivy Variegated plants thrive in environments with average humidity. However, they'll truly flourish with a touch of extra moisture. Consider misting them daily or investing in a humidifier to enhance their well-being.

Pet Friendly: Caution

To ensure your pet's safety, it's important to note that English Ivy Variegated plant is moderately toxic and may cause adverse reactions if ingested. While we advise against pets consuming any plants as a general rule, the severity of the reaction varies depending on the quantity consumed. If your pet typically avoids eating plants, this one can still be a suitable addition to your home.

Pro Tip

To maintain a bushy and full appearance, trim any lengthy runners and replant them into your existing plant. Use sharp, clean scissors to make precise cuts just below a leaf node. Remove the leaf at that node and plant the stem portion, as it is where roots will develop.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
