🐾 Pet Warning: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, and abdominal pain. Keep this plant out of reach from pets.

💧 Care Level: Moderate. English Ivy requires consistent care to thrive indoors and is susceptible to pests and diseases if not maintained properly.

📏 Approximate Size: When grown indoors, English Ivy can trail or climb to lengths of 6 to 8 feet or more.

🌞 Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. Variegated varieties may need more light to maintain their leaf patterns.

💧 Water: Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season. Reduce watering in the winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent root rot.

💦 Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity. However, higher humidity levels can promote lush growth and prevent spider mites.

❄️ Hardiness: Can tolerate cooler temperatures and is hardy outdoors in USDA zones 4 through 9. Indoor plants should not be exposed to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

🌱 Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every month during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

🔄 Re-potting: Re-pot in spring every 2 to 3 years or when the plant shows signs of being root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for indoor plants.

🌱 Propagation: Easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water until they root, then plant in potting soil. Keep moist and in indirect light until established.
