Plant Description:

Hedera helix ‘Gold Child’ is a fast-growing trailing houseplant admired for its vibrant foliage and classic vining growth habit. This variety features attractive light green leaves outlined with bright yellow edges, creating a cheerful, high-contrast appearance that adds movement and texture to indoor plant displays.

English Ivy is a versatile plant that can be styled as a trailing plant in hanging baskets, trained to climb trellises or decorative supports, or used to create lush cascading arrangements on shelves and plant stands. Its quick growth makes it a popular choice for customers looking to create full, layered greenery in their home.

Hedera helix ‘Gold Child’ is considered relatively easy to grow and adapts well to indoor environments. It prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation but can tolerate moderate lighting conditions. With proper care, this plant grows quickly and provides a full, decorative trailing display.

Because of its fast-growing nature, occasional trimming helps maintain shape and encourages fuller growth, making it a great plant for customers interested in styling or training trailing plants.

Safety Note:
English Ivy is toxic if ingested and should be kept out of reach of pets and children.
