English Ivy is an extremely easy-care climbing vine that thrives in bright indirect light and tolerates neglect well. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings and provide support for climbing growth. This hardy plant adapts to most indoor conditions and is excellent for hanging baskets or trailing displays.
