What Are English Ivy Plants?

English ivy, also known as Hedera helix, is a very good climber. It has tiny roots that grow up and down the stem allowing it to cling to just about any surface. It is a plant that requires little to no maintenance. It grows best in a shady area, and it likes a compost-rich soil. English ivy care is very simple, you don't do much at all!

What Can These English Ivy Leaves Be Used for?

Since English ivy plants are such a rich green color, they can be added to many of your flower arrangements for everyday use or for special occasions. They are also a popular choice for a green leaf garland, and florists love to add stems of ivy to make their bouquets look more interesting.

For best results, unpack your English ivy plants as soon as they arrive. Fill several vases or containers with fresh and clean water mixing in the provided plant food. Make sure that you cut off about one half inch worth of stem at a diagonal and remove any leaves that would sink below the water line. Leaving the foliage in the water can introduce bacteria. You will want to give the ivy at least four hours to hydrate before adding it to any of your arrangements. Store the ivy in a cool place out of direct sunlight, but be sure to replace with water every two or three days. Remember that your stems may look a little bit wilted when they first arrive which is due to being dehydrated during shipping. After you allow them to sit in water for a few hours, they will perk up to their usual beauty.
