Ivies do well at cool to moderate room temperatures of 50 to 70 F during the day and about 5 to 10 F lower at night. A good, rich commercial houseplant potting mix will be fine for ivy. They should be planted in a container with good drainage. Fertilize ivies monthly while they are actively growing with a foliage houseplant fertilizer, according to the label directions. Do not use fertilizer when plants stop growing either in the heat of summer, or when temperatures are cool.
Propagation is by rooting stem or tip cuttings.
Most types of ivy will root easily in water. Repot ivies when the plants become top-heavy or root bound or dry out too rapidly. The new pot should be no more than 1 inch larger in diameter than the pot it was originally grown in. Using too large a pot can cause the soil to stay wet too long and lead to root rot. The plants are kept trained and pinned to the frame.
