These decorative planters are optional separate purchases, not included with the ivy. Compare the hanging grow pot’s actual outside width and rim with the 6.3-inch planter opening before purchasing; fit is not guaranteed by the nominal pot size. BASEL and OSLO have no drainage holes. Keep the plant in a draining inner pot, remove it to water and let it drain fully before returning it. These decorative pots are not hanging baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide bright, indirect or filtered light. Gentle morning sun may suit an acclimated plant, but avoid harsh afternoon sun and hot window glass. Very low light can reduce growth and the brightness of the variegation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water thoroughly when the upper inch of mix feels dry, then allow excess water to drain. Avoid persistently soggy roots and prolonged complete drying of the root ball. Check moisture rather than following a rigid schedule, and empty saucers or cover pots after watering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal adjustments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduce watering during cool, dim conditions. Hanging pots may dry faster with increased airflow, so check the soil regularly without assuming the plant needs water every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a loose, well-draining houseplant mix in a container with drainage holes. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rich-houseplant-soil-blend\"\u003eRich Houseplant Soil Blend\u003c\/a\u003e is sold separately; amend with perlite or fine bark if needed for aeration. Avoid compacted soil around the roots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivy appreciates cooler indoor conditions, roughly 60–75°F. Keep away from hot, drying vents and extreme heat. Avoid sudden temperature changes and protect a container-grown plant from freezing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate humidity and good airflow are helpful. Use a humidifier in a very dry room rather than relying on frequent misting. Inspect leaf undersides for spider mites, especially in hot, dry air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth according to the fertilizer label. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/slow-release-fertilizer\"\u003e2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants \u0026amp; Succulents\u003c\/a\u003e is sold separately. Follow directions for the container size; reduce or pause feeding when growth slows and avoid fertilizing a stressed plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim long vines just above a leaf node with clean scissors to encourage branching. Remove damaged leaves gently. If training upward, use a separate support rather than letting aerial roots attach to painted walls or furnishings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHanging display:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a securely anchored hook or bracket rated for the fully watered pot’s weight. Keep vines clear of walkways, pets and heat sources. Do not suspend the plant by its vines or from an unsuitable decorative cover pot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repot when roots crowd the container or the mix no longer drains well, usually every 1–2 years as needed. Choose a draining pot only slightly larger and maintain the original planting depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Healthy stem cuttings containing nodes can root in water or a lightly moist propagation mix. Provide bright indirect light and avoid saturated conditions. A detached leaf without a node will not produce a new vine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoutine checks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Look for spider mites, scale or mealybugs on leaf undersides and stem joints. Gently rinse or wipe dust away, supporting the foliage as you work. Allow excess water to drain before returning the plant to its display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter arrival:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unpack carefully without tugging the vines. Place in bright indirect light, check soil moisture before watering and allow time to settle before repotting. Minor natural differences in leaf color and vine arrangement are expected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePet safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not pet-safe. English ivy leaves and berries can be harmful if eaten, and sap may irritate skin. Keep away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CTS Air Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52829038739687,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/3120\/8167\/files\/image_16ad067d-21b8-466f-98ff-1ebeba637b1e.png?v=1792029924","url":"https:\/\/ctsairplants.com\/products\/gold-child-english-ivy-6-inch-hanging-pot","provider":"CTS Air Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
