More about English Ivy Glacier
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Will also grow in full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soils, but prefers rich loams. Tolerates some drought, but produces best foliage color in evenly moist soils. In the St. Louis area, plants will benefit from a placement that will provide some protection from winter wind and sun and from hot summer temperatures. Plants may be propagated vegetatively or by seed. Birds help disperse seed. Spreading stems will root at the nodes where they touch the soil. Ground covers rarely need pruning except when they invade unintended areas. Ground covers may be trimmed on the edges with a spade or shears.
Pro Tip
The English Ivy 'Glacier' thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh sunlight, which can scorch the variegated leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter or lower-light conditions. Average room humidity is sufficient, but occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in dry climates. Choose a well-draining potting mix and fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. With proper care, your English Ivy 'Glacier' will reward you with stunning variegated foliage for years to come.
