Are all ivies the same?
Incorrect!
Of course, all ivy plants are ivy plants, so they're related! But they can differ in many ways:
- the size of the leaves: some are tiny, others very large
- the shape of the leaves: sometimes very indented, sometimes almost round
- the size of the leaves, from tiny to very large
- the colour of the leaves: from light to dark green, from yellow to bluish grey or red, from variegated yellow to variegated white, etc.
- the number of lobes from 0 to 7 or more
- growth habit: climbing, spreading, compact, stocky, upright, shrubby
- the speed or slowness of development
- vigour: small bonsai ivy or huge creeper
With a little observation, you'll be able to spot the thousand details that make all the difference!
