Ivy - White Variegated (Hedera Helix)

The Variegated Common Ivy (Hedera helix ‘Variegata’) is a striking version of traditional English ivy, featuring classic lobed leaves edged in golden-yellow or creamy tones. This fast-growing, trailing plant brings a burst of color and texture to hanging baskets, shelves, and vertical spaces, adding life and elegance to any room or outdoor garden.

Key Features

Size: Indoors, Ivy can grow up to 6–10 feet long (1.8–3 meters), depending on support and pruning. Outdoors, it can spread even further, climbing walls, fences, or trees.

Growth: Fast-growing and adaptable to different environments.

Pet-Friendliness

Toxic to pets – As with all Hedera Helix varieties, variegated Ivy contains compounds that can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested, potentially causing irritation or stomach upset. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some shade. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, while too little can cause legginess.

Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If indoor air is dry, mist occasionally or use a pebble tray.

Temperature: Ideal range is 10–24°C. Protect from extreme cold or heat.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix with good aeration.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pruning & Maintenance: Trim regularly to maintain shape and prevent legginess. Pinching off tips encourages fuller growth.
