The question of circumstance
Are all ivies suitable for indoor use?
In nature, ivy usually grows in shade or semi-shade. So it's well suited to being a houseplant. Not only will it help to decorate your home, it will also purify the air around you.
Most varieties can be used indoors. However, those that are too voluble should be avoided, especially if space is limited. Ivy varieties that require sunlight should also be avoided.
Caring for your indoor ivy :
- once a year on average, repot your ivy in a slightly larger pot
- Water regularly, for example once a week. Keep the substrate cool, but not soggy. Ivy is more resistant to dry conditions than to over-watering, which can rot the roots.
- if the ambient air is very dry, spray the foliage with water from time to time.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy, with its tenacity, reminds me of those souls who refuse to abandon the hearts they love.”
Chateaubriand, The Natchez
