Description	A trailing houseplant popular for its beauty, toughness and adaptability. Variegated forms are available in green blended with white or gold, perfect for brightening corners and shelves. Easily trimmed to contain size and can be trained to grow on an upright support. Ideal for hanging baskets and mixed containers where the foliage can trail over the sides. Nice situated on a shelf or tall plant stand where the plant is free to create a cascade of foliage. Bright light, but no direct sun. Ivy thrives under fluorescent light. If a variegated variety changes to mostly green, it isn’t getting enough light. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy , slightly drier in winter when growth is slower. Wilted leaves are a symptom of dry soil; however, root rot caused by soggy soil will also cause leaves to wilt. It’s a good idea to use a container with drainage holes. Better to use potting mix having peat moss based mix with added perlite or vermiculite for good drainage. Propagation is done through cuttings.
