Glacier English Ivy is not your average ivy. This perennial vine, originating from Europe and otherwise known as Hedera helix 'Glacier', English Ivy 'Glacier', English Ivy, and Common Ivy, possesses delicate, hunter-green foliage marked with eggshell-white etchings. Fast-growing, this broadleaf is the ideal choice for an evergreen that can climb. Adding color and height to any space, this drought-tolerant shrub does not require a lot of work and is simple to grow. Stunning, with its unique showy leaves, and stress-free, with its simple care regimen, this houseplant stands out from a crowd of its peers as a perfect choice for any person new to gardening.

Best Locations For Growing Glacier English Ivy

Glacier English Ivy can tolerate varying levels of light, from low light to bright direct light. That noted, this vine does best in bright indirect light. With an affinity for average temperatures of 45 to 80 degrees F and mild humidity of 40% and above, this lovely vine will thrive in almost any room. Take heed, however, when choosing a room that is frequented by little fingers and paws; this striking house plant is toxic to people and pets.

Glacier English Ivy Sunlight Requirements

Since this broadleaf shrub prefers bright indirect light, place it in a south-facing, east-facing, or west-facing window. To prevent sunburn, place Glacier English Ivy at least 3-5 feet away from any south-facing windows. 

Glacier English Ivy Care

A 6-inch pot, filled with loamy, well-drained soil is a fine choice for starting off this evergreen vine. An average indoor potting soil amended with peat moss and perlite will adequately retain the moisture this shrub prefers. To shape this perennial, pruning is required, preferably during the months of spring. Finally, this houseplant yields aromatic blooms and showy berries during the months of August thru December. 

Watering Glacier English Ivy

Depending on the temperature and humidity, this plant does not require frequent watering, usually only once per week or so. This drought-tolerant plant also does not like sitting in soggy soil so doing a moisture check is wise. Insert your fingers an inch or two beneath the surface of the soil and water if it feels dry.

Feeding Glacier English Ivy

Glacier English Ivy requires infrequent fertilizing. Simply feed this shrub a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer one time per month except during the winter months.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
