Know before you buy
This cultivar is known for its fast-growing, vining habit. Under optimal conditions with bright indirect light, you can expect noticeable growth throughout the growing season, making it an excellent choice if you want to fill a space quickly.
The 'Teardrop' thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its growth will slow down significantly, and it may lose some of the vibrancy in its leaf veining.
No, the English Ivy 'Teardrop' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant on a high shelf or in a hanging planter where curious pets cannot reach the foliage.
Yes, its vining habit makes it highly versatile. You can easily train it to climb a small trellis or moss pole, or let it trail gracefully from a bookshelf or hanging basket.
Moderate care means the plant is not entirely 'set it and forget it.' You will need to monitor soil moisture to ensure it doesn't dry out completely, and keep an eye on humidity levels to prevent common pests like spider mites, which can be attracted to indoor ivy.
