Description
The California Ivy 'Green California', commonly known as the California Ivy, is a vigorous and versatile variety of English Ivy. Known for its dense, lush foliage, this plant is ideal for adding a touch of green to both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Hedera helix 'Green California' Description
The California Ivy features small to medium-sized, glossy, dark green leaves that are slightly lobed, giving them a classic ivy appearance. It is a fast-growing, evergreen vine that can cling to and climb up various surfaces thanks to its aerial rootlets. Indoors, it is commonly used in hanging baskets, as a ground cover in large containers, or trained to climb on structures and trellises.
Care Plan for Hedera helix 'Green California'
Light: This ivy thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to medium and low light conditions. While it can grow in shaded areas, more light will typically result in thicker foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure thorough watering, allowing the water to drain completely. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important to ensure that the container has good drainage. Reduce watering during the winter months when growth slows.
Humidity: While California Ivy can tolerate low humidity, it prefers a more humid environment. If you notice the tips of the leaves turning brown, consider increasing the humidity around the plant. This can be achieved by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures for this plant range from 50-70°F (10-21°C). Protect it from extreme temperatures and drafts, which can stress the plant.
Child and Pet Safety: It's important to note that Hedera helix 'Green California' is toxic to both pets and humans if ingested. It contains compounds that can cause gastrointestinal irritation, ataxia, and in severe cases, even systemic effects. It is best to keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.
General Tips: Fertilize California Ivy once every month during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Prune regularly to control its growth and promote denser foliage. This also helps prevent the ivy from becoming too leggy.
