Hedera Helix "Variegata"
Variegated English Ivy
The plant, by the plant
Royalty with trailing habits - I'm the Variegated English Ivy, an established, generously grown cascade of cream-and-green leaves. This is no starter sprig: my X-Large size arrives with up to a metre of vine already flowing, ready to spill off a shelf like I own the place. (I do.)
I climb using thousands of tiny root-like grips - give me a wall, a frame or a high perch and I'll architect the rest. Bright, indirect light keeps my variegation sharp; I'll forgive a missed watering with old-world grace.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot with approx 50-100cm of established trailing vine
Pets: keep me above the fur line - ivy is toxic if chewed.
Let me swing from a Wren Macrame Hanger and keep my crown full with a feed of Indoor Plant Food.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Care tips
Prefers the soil to be left to dry in between waterings. When watering, water the plant with water slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out excess water. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To keep your Hedera Helix "Variegata" looking lush and lively, you’ll need to give it the right nutrients. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food has everything it needs to support strong, healthy growth and encourage those beautiful variegated leaves to keep shining. During the warmer months, when it’s actively growing, your ivy will appreciate a bit more food and water. In the cooler months, it slows down and needs less — no winter feasting here! It’s okay to be a little helicopter plant parent: keep an eye on new growth and adjust care as needed. And don’t forget to use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine to keep those striking leaves dust-free and glossy. Moral of the story? New growth means it’s time for a little extra love!
