Here is a picture of an Ivy Plant


CHARACTERISTICS:

Hanging Ivies are elegant and rich looking, easy to grow, and they age gracefully. Keep an eye out for spider mite. If you catch the pest and spray early your ivy will stay healthy looking. We emphasize early pest detection because mites do extensive damage in little time.

PRUNING:

They can be trained to cover shapes with their vines, but they need constant clipping directing. We prefer our ivies hanging or over a ledge. They need regular trimming to keep their shape. Cuttings can be easily rooted in water.
