Hedera Helix ‘Wonder’ (English Ivy)

Its cascading growth habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets or trailing over shelves.

Plant Care:

1. Light:

   • Thrives in bright, indirect light.
   • Can tolerate low-light conditions but may lose its vibrant variegation.
   • Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering:

   • Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
   • Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots.
   • Check the top inch of soil before watering; if it feels dry, it’s time to water.

3. Humidity:

   • Prefers average humidity but can tolerate lower levels.
   • Mist the plant regularly or place it on a pebble tray filled with water.

4. Temperature:

   • Prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
   • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

5. Soil:

   • Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
   • A peat-based mix is often suitable.

6. Fertilizing:

   • Feed your English Ivy with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
   • Dilute the fertilizer to half strength and apply it once a month.   
      

7. Training:

   • The English Ivy can be trained to climb a moss pole or trellis.
   • You can also let it trail as a hanging plant.

8. Pruning:

   • Prune regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.

Additional Tips:
