Know before you buy
No, this plant is toxic to both pets and humans if ingested. It contains saponins, so it is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, and small children.
The 'Glacier' thrives in bright, indirect light. This light level is essential to keep the creamy white edges of the leaves vibrant and prevent the plant from becoming leggy.
Yes, the English Ivy 'Glacier' is a natural climber. Its vining habit allows it to cling to vertical surfaces, making it an excellent choice for trellises, moss poles, or wall displays.
This plant prefers a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.
While it appreciates medium humidity, it is generally adaptable to standard indoor conditions. If your home is particularly dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place it near other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
