Common names: ivy,
English ivy
Description: These vine-like foliage plants are
available in several shades of green, some with white
or yellowish variegation. Leaf shapes vary with cultivars
from pointed to almost round and range from 2 to 4 inches
long. Branches may produce leaves of a different shade
of color than the rest of the plant. Spherical, conical,
double-sphered and novelty-formed topiaries also are available.
Special care: Provide bright light and temperatures
of 60 to 70 F/16 to 21 C. Ivies live several years with
proper care. Remove dead leaves. Check soil for moisture
and drench plants if soil is dry. Do not allow ivies to
dry because severe dryness will kill them. Remove withered
leaves.
