Description

Appearance

Leaves are small to medium, glossy, and show a warm, golden variegation with green margins. New growth often appears brighter, which creates a lively, multi toned cascade as vines lengthen.

Growth Habit

Fast vining habit indoors with regular pruning. It will trail nicely from hanging pots and baskets, or climb when given a support. Rotate occasionally to keep variegation balanced on all sides.

Care and Maintenance

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal, mornings or filtered afternoon sun work well. It will tolerate lower light for a time, but variegation may fade.

Water

Allow the top 1 to 2 centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain; avoid sitting in water to reduce root rot risk.

Humidity

Average indoor humidity is fine, but higher humidity helps keep leaf edges soft and prevents crisping. Mist occasionally, or place near a pebble tray if your air is dry.

Soil and Potting

Use a well draining, peat based mix with perlite for aeration. Repot every 12 to 18 months into a slightly larger pot to encourage new growth.

Pruning and Propagation

Prune to shape or shorten vines, cut just above a leaf node. Propagate easily from tip cuttings placed in water or a moist, well draining mix, roots form quickly.

Dealing with Pests

Keep leaves dust free, avoid letting the soil become soggy, and inspect new growth. If you see pests, consult these guides:

Spider mites, visible as fine webbing and stippling in dry conditions.
Mealybugs, cotton like masses in leaf axils.
Fungus gnats, linked to overwatering and damp surface soil.
Scale, hard bumps on stems or leaf midribs.

How to take care of Ivy Golden Ingot

Sun: Indirect

They enjoy medium to bright light levels, making them perfect for spots near a window with filtered light. In lower light, their growth slows, and variegation may fade.

Light: Medium

Ivy Golden Ingot thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning sun. Avoid harsh midday rays, which may scorch its golden foliage.

Water: When mostly dry

Water your Ivy Golden Ingot when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.

Humidity: Medium

This hardy ivy adapts well to average household humidity but will grow more vibrantly in slightly higher humidity. Occasional misting helps, especially in dry climates.

Pet Friendly: Caution

The Ivy Golden Ingot is toxic to pets if ingested, so keep it away from curious cats and dogs.

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!
