FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
- You can fertilize your ivy monthly during the growing season, but withhold feeding if the plant stops growing during the summer or in winter.
- Use a balanced, 10-10-10 formula, diluted to half-strength or 1/4 teaspoon per 2 gallons, but also check the package label for additional directions.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- The best spot for an indoor-grown variegated ivy is one that gets bright, indirect light, such as 1 or 2 feet from a west- or south-facing window.
- The plant can also grow in low- to medium-light conditions, or under artificial lights, but its growth may slow and its leaves may become more uniformly green.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- A variegated ivy thrives when its soil is moistened thoroughly, then the top 1/2 inch of soil is allowed to dry to the touch before the next watering.
- Placing its pot on a tray of moistened pebbles or misting the plant every day or two can help increase humidity and keep it growing well.
