Ivy plants are not very demanding when it comes to care and location. They prefer a lot of light, but can also tolerate shade. However, the place shouldn't be too cool and the ivy doesn't like drafts either.
Where is the best location for an ivy plant?
The ideal location for an ivy plant is light to partially shaded, warm, with sufficient humidity and no drafts. Avoid direct sunlight and temperatures below 15 degrees for strong colors and optimal growth.
The right location for an ivy plant
- Bright to partial shade
- not too sunny
- warm
- sufficient humidity
- protected from drafts
The colors of an ivy plant are strongest when the plant is in a nice, bright location without being exposed to too much direct sunlight.
But it also copes well with shadows in the room. However, the leaves then appear paler and the decorative markings are not visible.
The temperatures must not fall below 15 degrees. Avoid drafts where the ivy plant is located.
Tip
When caring for an ivy plant in a flower window, east and west windows are ideal. You should shade south-facing windows at lunchtime with curtains (€16.00 on Amazon) or suitable means, because ivy plants don't get too much direct sun.
