Description
Variegated English Ivy is a classic trailing climber with beautifully marbled green and creamy-white foliage. Its dense, cascading vines make it an attractive choice for hanging baskets, tall pots, or spilling over retaining walls and trellises. It’s excellent for softening hard surfaces and adding a lush, textured look to shaded outdoor areas.
Keep the plant in bright, indirect light for the best leaf colour and definition, especially during the warmer months of Bunuru (Late Summer) and Djeran (Autumn). It prefers cooler conditions in summer, making it ideal for shaded spots under patios or trees. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during Djilba and Kambarang (Early to Late Spring) to encourage healthy new growth, and trim back any leggy stems to maintain a tidy shape.
