How to Care for Your English Ivy 'Glacier'
Place your 'Glacier' ivy in a bright area away from direct sun — near a window with filtered light is ideal. Use well-draining soil and a container with drainage holes to prevent water buildup. Water consistently when the top of the soil dries out, adjusting frequency in cooler months.
This ivy prefers cooler indoor temps and moderate humidity. Mist occasionally or place near other plants for a slight humidity boost. Prune regularly to shape or maintain a fuller, bushier appearance.
You can let it trail from shelves or plant stands, or train it vertically along a trellis or moss pole for a living wall effect.
