English Ivy 'Gold Child' Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. To maintain vibrant variegation, place it in a well-lit spot with filtered sunlight. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.

Watering Requirements

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. Prune occasionally to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot every 1-2 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Trim leggy vines to keep a compact shape and remove any yellowing leaves.
