Hedera helix "Caecilia"

Description

Caecilia is a hardy, evergreen vine or groundcover, with attractive creamy white-variegated green foliage. As a vine, it attaches itself by aerial rootlets to masonry walls and other surfaces such as tree trunks. Cluster of small yellow-green flowers are followed by usually black berries.

Origin: Europe

Family: Araliaceae

Height: 3 -6

Light: Place English ivy in a location where they get filtered light, such as a bright window. North or West facing windows are best as these do not allow direct sunlight all day. In harsh sunlight, they become bleached or dry. Ivies respond well to artificial fluorescent light conditions. Place your plants 6" to 10" from the fluorescent tubes.

Water: Water thoroughly but infrequently. When the soil feels dry, gently add water to the soil until the surface is totally wet and the water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Then do not water again until the soil is almost dry. Do not allow pots to stand continually in water..

Humidity: Mist the leaves several times a week with a spray bottle. Mist your plant more frequently in the summer growing season- the more water you can supply the blooms, the healthier it will be.

Temperature: Growth may cease completely below 70 F, but will resume when warmer weather returns. In winter, English Ivy plants need a 6 week rest period at a with little water. This allows the plant to flower profusely again in the following season.

Soil: Any good potting mix that drains well. Mix of potting soil and orchid soil or perlite will provide the kind of soil English Ivy prefer.

Fertilizer: Variegated plants also need less fertilizer than green-leaved ivy because they're less able to use the extra nutrients. Over-fertilizing these plants can cause build-up of fertilizer components in the soil, which can interfere with the ability of roots to take up water. This can also cause leaves to turn brown..

Landscape Uses: It looks great in containers and hanging baskets and trained as topiary. It s also fantastic as a groundcover, climber up walls, structures and trees, even as a sprawling shrub, does well in shade

Eliminates: Airborne pollutants including Benzene, Trichloroethylene, and Formaldehyde from the air.

Caution: This variety is toxic to pets and harmful if injusted.

Foliage plants in general need access to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid keeping them in direct sunlight as it can cause leaves to burn due to extreme sunlight in the afternoon.

Make sure watering is done once the soil goes dry. Although the soil can remain moist, but it should not turn soggy/wet. Having drainage hole in the pots goes a long way in ensuring there is no water stagnating on top of the soil. You can spray the plant occasionally.

Fertilise the plant once a month in summers however Don't feed any fertiliser in winters. Giving fertiliser to the plant ensures nutrients going in which keeps it healthy. Keep an eye on the leaves of the plant to know any symptoms for watering or sunlight.
