Introducing My New Ivy!

[Leah]

I got this little guy today and know nothing about Ivy--

Do you have advice for growing him as an indoor plant?

I really like the way that plant looks! I don't have any advice, quite a newbie, but I wish you the best of luck! Keep us updated on how it's doing!

It's such a cute, little Ivy, I love it! Growing it indoors shouldn't be difficult, I think. I don't know much about Ivies, but I'm pretty sure that they don't need a lot of sun and they grow rather fast.
I used to grow one in a hanging basket, it looked lovely!

Just put him in a bright window and something to climb on and keep him moist but not wet in a well drained pot. Fertilize about once a month

Once the ivy starts growing, you can easily make new starts and root them, and then you can move the whole thing to a larger hanging basket, and you will have a beautiful hanging basket of ivy.
I have some, but mine is growing outside, and it rambles along the fence, and along the ground. I am going to cut some of the ends off soon, and root them, and then start some new ones further along the fence where there isn't any ivy.
If I can get it to cover most of my fence in the back yard, eventually, it will look like a 4' tall hedge around the yard. That will take a while, but as it grows, it will look more private out back a little bit more every year.

Thanks for all the replies. I will consider all the advice given as I raise the little fella.
