All your questions about ivy
When should ivy be repotted?
Ivy is an excellent indoor plant, with attractive foliage all year round and its qualities as a depolluting plant.
Repotting your ivy is best done when it is resting, i.e. in winter. Repotting every two years, or when the roots have completely filled the pot, is generally sufficient.
Use a light, draining substrate. Take the opportunity to do a little pruning to get back into shape.
Ivy in literature
“An ivy like that, not even a king could get rid of it.”
Shakespeare, King Lear
