Similar to Hedera helix, Hedera Hibernica or Irish ivy can be identified by its larger leaves and petioles. The leaf of Irish ivy is wider than it is long with glossy leaves. It has a sweeter smell than that of English ivy. Don’t let the sweet fumes fool you though – this is a voracious spreader and difficult to keep under control. The northern and eastern limits are at about the −2°C (28°F) winter isotherm, while to the west and southwest, it is replaced by other species of ivy.

With a couple of exceptions, the effectsof accidently eating small amounts are mild.

It is safe to touch fungi, as long as you wash your hands afterwards. Growing inside, an ivy houseplant is best placed in bright but indirect light. It can also benefit from some more direct morning sun. If you have a variegated ivy cultivar, the variegation will become less pronounced if the plant gets no direct light. Without enough light, inside ivy plants can become leggy and more prone to pests. Soil & Fertilizer Golden Curl ivy is another type of English ivy that has leaves with curly edges. This variety has defined lobes and almost pentagonal-shaped leaves with vibrant blonde, almost lemon yellow, colored edges, and dark green patches on the leaf center. Colloquially, we use the term “ivy” to describe a plethora of climbing plants – some of which are not technically ivy at all. Whether you’re a student in a greenhouse, a hobby botanist in the city park, or looking to diversify your garden, it’s important to know these definitions, distinctions, and various varieties. Problems occur when a juvenile ivy climbs a tree trunk and then produces a heavy knot of adult foliage among the overhead branches. This top-heavy growth can bring the tree down in strong winds. Therefore, it’s best not to encourage ivy to climb into trees for that reason.
