Growing English Ivy (Hedera Helix) as a Houseplant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- The mental image of a lush, green plant overtaking the old brick wall of a centuries-old cottage is enough to make any gardener start a new English ivy plant in their home.
English ivy is a fantastic climber, using its tiny roots to grab on to any surface. It can be used to cover any surface you desire.
Of course, it can be dangerous to grow English ivy outdoors as it is invasive in many regions. But as a houseplant, hedera helix is one of the easiest to care for.

This comment made me subscribe. Don’t really get this well structured videos and guides by RUclipsrs these days. Appreciate this 🙏🏼
I love this!
I just got my first couple of plants!
Why the plant should inside the home
I have it I won't it long long
Hi , I have Ivy grounding on the hill of my home ,All round it but, one spot it willnt grow back ,after it was dug up ( the with a shovel ) it bin years I bin play with replanting ,an fertilizing but grass grows their I need help
I'm subscribing for the simple fact that you showed the distance of the plant from the window. Thank you!! I always struggled with light requirements since I only have two windows in a large living room.
No problem, it's one of the most important things!
Me, too.
@@epicgardening Hi there, thanks for all the videos, I watch you quite a lot since I started my small urban jungle. It all started with a dipladenia which made me get more and more plants. I now own a small elephant bush bonsai forest, other succulents as well, got my aloe and snake plants, pothos and dumb cane, fittonia and recently got some ivys as well. My bigest fear now is that there won't be enough light in the autumn-winter as the room in the flat I rent is westerly oriented (probably this is the reason I haven't started this hobby until now). The question is if normal CFL bulbs will work, provided is white-blue light (6-7000 kelvin) or do I need special light bulbs which will cost a fortune and probably won't afford? I would just hate seeing my plants suffer and potentially die because of not enough light.
@@abcd7875 I’ve been using two led grow lights for some of my plants for about a year with no problems except adjusting how high they’re hung as plants grow. The lights cost about $40 on Amazon for a pack of two!
Notes: needs bright indirect light. Report in pit one inch bigger than previous. Enjoys fertile, quick draining soil. 1/3 perlite, 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 peat moss. Water quickly to let it seep in for a second, then water more throughly after a minute. Soil and roots will be more responsive to watering. Report annually. Droopy yellow vines means over watering. They can get long and stretchy so clip right above a leaf node.
Gosh, you’re just so damn informative. Plain and easy. And have to say, a great voice! I listen to ppl for a living and the sound of you is very pleasing. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention humidity . 😃 my tips get dry and brown like yours when I don’t have it in quite a humid spot
I know this is an “old” video, but I just got a Goldenchild today and knew where to turn to for accurate info 😁
Your videos motivated me to start indoor plants. The ivys I got are doing soo good.
Good watering tip. I believe you are the first tutorial I’ve seen on plant care or any gardening video that mentions this simple but very important technique. You saved some plant lives with that one for sure.
:)
U always seem like a most honest n caring guy. Thanks for informative videos.
I have the biggest smile on my face
Thankyou
&
Much ❤️

When he got to the “plant couch”, he became a gardener version of Steve from Blues Clues. I could just be delusional though because it’s 1AM...
Thank you so much I knew that they needed a good amount of light but I didn’t really know the other topics that you talked about like the pests. I got a Hedera helix ivy today and I’m sooo excited to be a plant parent. Edit: Thank you!!
Good luck!
Recipe: 1/3 perlite for airation + 1/3 peat moss (or coconut coir) for water retention + 1/3 compost (or potting soil) for organic matter
Yup that's a good mix
Your right, this plant is SOOOO invasive! It invaded an entire garden bed in my garden! We got rid of it though,
Yeah, I only recommend it as a houseplant! Otherwise it's WAY too much of a problem.
I just bought one of these you've got a new subscriber.
Just bought english ivy yesterday!!!❤️
Ivy I believe, is a marvelous natural plant for wildlife, particularly birds whom find shelter and cover in it's densely packed leaves. and. It covers for example fences that would otherwise be plain boring. It's a very useful plant indeed. A must for a wildlife garden...
I love Wonderful variety. great information.
Very informative, thank u
Very good information sir thank-you😊
“No points for cleanliness here, but is the job getting done? The job. Is definitely. Getting. Done.” 😂 YEEESSSSSSS. I will come back, solely because #relatable
I know this is an old, old video however English Ivy and the varieties don't need a particular soil. They really adapt and grow their tails off. Indoors obviously you cannot overwater. Fascinating because yes I see them in the yard is outdoors plenty of water is not a problem. I've seen it rain and rain and they grow and grow. Indoors of course that is the kiss of doom to overwater it like most houseplants stuck in pots.
Mine has blooms ...bright buttery yellow flowers! I have wax ivy ! It blooms !🌿🌼🌿🌼
I have a variegated teardrop hedera helix, it’s beautiful
Thank you! I’d love more info on growing orchids indoors..
And by invasive (and being a climber), it can slowly kill large trees and choke out natural eco-systems.
Right...I only recommend indoors in pots!
Thank you for the video
Loved your video! So helpful and informativ, if you have no clue about English ivy. I just bought (more like rescued) one from my local florist and feel well equiped now to let it grow and thrive.
Good luck!
You have such an informative channel!
Thank god you did the little Q&A at the end regarding putting the green leaved ivy outside, because i thought about putting mine out, but it's dark green and i'm not sure it will last outside.
:) Glad it helped
This is the perfect video. I’m graduating in a month and my university has these ivy plants all around campus, so I was going to take a cutting on my graduation and propagate them in pots at home next to my degree hahaha! It’ll be like a cute memento
Great idea!
Super helpful. I’m putting mine outside so wish me luck 🤣
In my area is SUPER invasive. In my neighborhood there’s AT LEAST 5 front yards that are infested with ivy. At the moment I’m rooting some ivy cuttings to keep as indoor plants and I have to say they are very slow to root
nice growinr image.
Thank you,
"The plat couch" LOL, dude you've come far in 5 years, haoppy for you
Love your videos
Thank you for watching

Not me: Struggling to keep my ivy alive
Ivy will absolutely survive... British winters ❄
My normal English Ivy absolutely loves being outside in Texas weather zone 7B but I do supply it with a bottom watering tray so it doesn't dry out and burn but once temperature get too much ill bring it inside or extremely bad weather i leave mine on my belcony railing and dangle and after a few weeks its growth boomed
Great advises could you talk about care and propagation of creeping Jenny please?
Sometimes I can be sloppy when I repot my plants too 😂😅
One thing I like to do when that happens, is use a small paintbrush to clean off the leaves, then water them in.
Hello! Thanks for the info. I bought an Ivy asterisk & a pixie ivy recently. I did notice that your tip really helps watering. Thanks.
Also, I just bought an alocasia today. It’s the magic one with black leaves & bright green veigns & stems. Any tips? Thank you so much. I really appreciate how well thought out your videos are. Thank you!!
Thanks! Here is my complete elephant ear guide: www.epicgardening.com/elephant-ear-plant/
Hi! Your video is great- thank you. I am looking to grow my English Ivy in a very well lite room, high up on a wooden beam. My question and concern is about whether it will invade the wooden beam like it would a wall outside as in your video. I feel silly for asking, as you took it from outside, but does this plant act differently in terms of putting out roots then it would outside?
Haven't found the answer anywhere so would be great to know. I really do not want to destroy this rental apartment! Thank you.
Ha ha
The plant 🌱
Couch
U r a cutey 💗💗💗
Love this! New plant hoarder here! Recently I brought home seeds from a passion fruit. I would live to grow one but I dont know where to start! Help!?
Thank you for explaining how bad it is outdoors before teaching how to grow it. It really is a treacherous plant when it comes to the outdoors. I just pulled a bunch of English Ivy that was webbing all around my strawberry patch and was about to climb my grapes.
For how long do you have to worry about spider mites? I've had one indoors now for about 2 months and I wash it off once a week. Do I have to continue washing it off forever?
I live in Colorado and it’s super dry here. Do you think an English ivy needs a humid environment? I just bought one would love for it to thrive! 🌱 😃
Do you train the vines to go where you want them to or are they simply going to do whatever they want? I have a variegated English Ivy and want the cascading effect, but some of my vines are climbing upwards. Will they start falling when they get too heavy?
Love you videos. Btw do you live in Sd you look familiar.
Thank you ! Last week I just removed it trailing along my balcony wall though I had done it in a thread trail away from the wall but ...no I wasn't ok with it trailing n trailing ...I read about adverse full on invasion on houses.so information was good n rightly so .
U said it right on .Its Best contained .
Birds eat the berries because they’re a good source of fat for them, if you want to feed birds on your area providing them peanuts are a great alternative to invasive plants like ivy. Either get roasted no salt no sugar store bought peanuts or look for peanuts in a bird feed store/hardware store.
Yes can u please

when propagating, what is the best way to repot it and how long should the roots be?
This might be a silly question, but I’m new to planting and don’t want to do anything wrong. My home is covered in ivy, and I’m wanting to propagate some and bring it inside! It seems to love the soil that my yard naturally has - would it be a good idea to take some of that soil when I am propagating and then planting it inside, or should I try a soil from a nursery?
Either should do ok
I clipped a branch of ivy on my walk off a tree... its purple and I managed to get it to grow roots... I would love to know if it's the same care tips.
how’s yours doing now? is it really a pest magnet? spidermites? im too scared i just bought one today:(
I’ve had one for like a month and al of a Sudan two of the stems of it have shoveld is it over watering or under watering
Very cool love Ivy. I do have a question is English Ivy poisonous to Cats? Enjoy your videos my young friend. Thank you for all you for the community. Take care.
I wouldn't let them eat it, for sure. Keep it hanging where it belongs! :) thanks for your comment
My garden ivy grows dark purple poisonous berries. That's something your cat doesn't need to eat 😨
Wtf this shit is fuckin gross and smells like shit
If queen ants have laid eggs in the ivy, it will be fine because the ant pheromones neutralise the poison..🐵🐵🌱🌿🍀☘🐝🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Can I use bonsai jack soil for my English Ivy? I'm growing them indoors.
my variegated ivy turned black from the edges inward... not even yellow or brown but black :(
didn't see any yellowing on the stem but the branch did dried out and the leaves too eventually turned to crisp... checked the roots and they seemed ok? i could be wrong. granted i live in a tropical land so could it be the sun and not overwatering?
I recently got a variegated English ivy (and a normal one) plant and I don't know why but they're shriveling up (the leaves are turning brittle and hard but are still greenish brown) do you have any ideas about why it's doing that?
P.S thank you for the video it was very helpful 😊
look out for spider mites. they are extremely attracted to ivy. give ur ivy a wash with a shower head, or a spray bottle, once a week. it will wash any spider mites off and keep them away since they love the dryness.
Same thing happened to mine! I suspect lack of humidity and possible sunburn
Great video. I just bought my first Ivy. I live in an apartment I really don’t get much light I bought a grow lamp though is that going to be good enough or am I just wasting my time
Ivy will do just fine in a lower-light situation - it grows as an invasive in most areas which means it typically needs much less in the way of light, nutrition, etc. to survive!
can you grow them to gather with other vines in a container?
My outside ivy leaves keeps getting crispy and dry outside, what’s causing this and how do I help my ivy stay green?
I’m going to grow this over my ugly old chain link fence
I have my plant in a window in my bathroom and it dries out a lot.
What keeps the ivy from climbing indoor walls as they do outdoor walls?
My English Ivy has grown so long in my kitchen and I need to repot it as the pot is too small. Once I take it down, it will no longer "stick" to the wall. Can I just cut off all the long stems and not harm the plant?
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO DRY IT OUT BEFORE YOU CAN SMOKE IT ?
hi Epic i just found your vids. I just weeded an English ivy plant from my yard. It is still intact root and all. I am wondering if I can use it as an indoor start? Would i prepare it as any other cutting?
Yeah, try to root it in water
hey! Thanks for sharing your tips. My variegated English ivy has been droopy and limp (not yellow like you described as overwatered). I live in Singapore so we have a pretty warm and humid weather. The English ivy’s droopy leaves are driving me crazy! It’s currently hanging on my window and getting a fair share of filtered bright light. How can I save it!? :(
Did it survive?
I have English ivy that has grown up and around my large tree. The tree man said it will kill the tree. Is this true? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Good Vid!
Thank you!
only houseplant i've killed. about a year ago, when i first decided to get into houseplants, i got a golden pothos and an english ivy. pothos is still going strong, i've propagated from one vine and the rest are like four feet long, but the ivy... died pretty fast. turned brown and crispy from the center outwards. still have no idea what happened. any ideas? every other plant i have now is fine, the ivy is the only one i've ever had trouble with.
This happened to me too. I hope he answer the question.
Same thing happened to mine. Google says its too much water lmao. Il water mine less and let u know what happens darling xx
Can you put english Ivy plant inside a bathroom?
If it gets enough light, yes!
Even in a pot it tries to go upwards
..I want it to fall down...but ..
I wanted to ask if there’s a method how to make it grow downwards, because mine is growing up...🙃
I have a very small ivy and turning yellow almost like golden. I have it in covered patio with decent amount of light, and don’t water it to much. 😢
Hey, what is the "curly" looking plant on the shelves behind you called? The one in the biggest pot :)
That is a bird's nest fern
Mine is stunted. I tried replanting and it had tiny roots. Ive had it for about a year in a small pot. Should i just give up and try to clip it and reroot?
Sometimes I do that to get a fresh start
@@epicgardening sounds good. Thanks.
The computer is so big!!
look out for spider mites. they are extremely attracted to ivy. give ur ivy a wash with a shower head, or a spray bottle, once a week. it will wash any spider mites off and keep them away since they love the dryness.
What’s the difference in poison ivy and English ivy? I always see ivy vines growing outside and try to steer clear of them. But I’m thinking they’re English ivy.
i have ivy in my fern garden but im uk based so have an advantage lol
Yeah, you definitely do, hahaha
Okay but mine appears to be dying. Maybe I gave it too much water? Send help
With english ivy it's probably an overwatering, check your soil!
Ivy takes over the garden literally, dont let it climb pipes or roofs though because its difficult to control
Yup, I wouldn't even chance growing it outside!
I’m trying to grow ivy. The leaves get all crunchy,but roots are ok. What am I doing wrong?
Could be too much light, or soil drying out too fast
Hello, just grew my green thumb in about 6 months ago. This is very addicting! Are your stickers for sale ?
I haven't listed them for sale yet, but I'll have a shop on my website soon :)
How can you grow green thumb?? All my plants are dying 😓
Haha, I don't know. I just woke up one day and felt very motivated about it, and I watch videos on how to properly care for them if I'm unsure (:
Hi why is my ivy turning purple? I left it outside under the sun so maybe thats why? Will it ever go back to being green?
Could be way too much sun
Is green ivy from my home improvement store the same as English ivy?? Thanks for any help in advance!
Hard to say, many ivies exist!
Is it safe to touch? I see a lot of people online saying it’s dangerous
All the windows in my apartment are on north, east, and west facing walls. Can I grow anything? Ivy or pothos? I really want hanging house plants in my living space.
Yep! You should be able to grow both of those successfully with your conditions
Try a philodendron too 😍 They are awesome.
Hiii! Do you have any care tips on a Dracaena Fragans? I recently bought one but is not looking too happy ☹
Hey there! You'd grow it similarly to how you'd grow other Dracaenas, I have a guide here: www.epicgardening.com/dracaena-marginata-madagascar-dragon-tree/
Epic Gardening thank you so much for the fast reply. After reading the article, I think my plant my be suffering from fluoride toxidity and soggy soil. I will repot it with new/better soil and use distilled water from now on. When I do repot it, should I water it thoroughly until it drips from the bottom, or should I wait a few days? Newbie here 😊
If you repot with fresh soil, I'd water lightly instead of soaking through!
Epic Gardening awesome, thank you so much 💚
How did u make your own compost
hiii, i recently became a plant owner, and the hedera ivy was the first plant i got! i've had it for maybe 2-3 weeks now, & i do not know the reason why it is wilting. a few stems have fallen off & and it appears to be wilting now as a handle of leafs are drooping. what could be the reason for my wilting ivy?:(
a hand ful***
Is this Ivy poison to cats if they are not chewing it ? thank
Does this pertain to the mini ivy as well?
Relatively similar, yes!
Can i ask? I bought new ivy and its variegated, but im wondering why its different
That's just a different cultivar!
can you leave this outside in a high floor balcony in the summer time? or it will die?
I know u asked this s year ago but I have mine in pots I put them outside in very bright sun then bring inside during the winter. They die back a little inside but do very well outdoors.
