A little flash of gold makes this classic ivy anything but ordinary.
Gold Child English Ivy (Hedera helix ‘Gold Child’) brings beautiful contrast to indoor spaces with light green leaves edged in creamy golden yellow. Its trailing, vining growth makes it especially pretty spilling from a favorite planter, cascading from a shelf, or climbing with support.
Fast-growing and relatively easy to care for, Gold Child is a great choice when you want greenery that does more than just sit there. Let the vines trail naturally or trim them back to create a fuller, more compact plant.
Why You’ll Love It
Growing & Care
Light
Bright, indirect light helps maintain the strongest variegation. Avoid prolonged intense direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Water
Water when the upper portion of the soil begins to feel dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. Avoid leaving the roots continuously wet or allowing the pot to sit in standing water.
Soil
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix and a container with adequate drainage.
Temperature
Normal indoor temperatures work well. Protect the plant from freezing temperatures and extreme drafts.
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally suitable, although English ivy appreciates some additional humidity in particularly dry indoor environments.
Feeding
Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth with an appropriate houseplant fertilizer according to package directions.
Pruning
Trim vines as needed to control length and encourage fuller growth. Long stems can also be trained around a support or allowed to trail naturally.
