English Ivy 'Gold Child'

English Ivy 'Gold Child' brings a beautiful splash of warm sunshine right into your living room, effortlessly draping its bright green leaves boldly edged in golden yellow over bookcases or hanging baskets. You will want this classic vine in your home because it acts as a living, trailing tapestry that adds a vibrant pop of color without taking up valuable floor space. Growing steadily to a manageable indoor length of three to six feet, it looks spectacular cascading down from high vantage points. To keep those stunning golden borders looking their absolute brightest, place your 'Gold Child' ivy in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight, such as near an east- or west-facing window. Too much harsh, direct afternoon sun can scorch its delicate foliage, while an overly dark corner will cause that beautiful golden variegation to slowly revert to a standard green.

Caring for this elegant trailing beauty is wonderfully simple if you remember to let the soil guide your watering routine. Allow the top inch of the potting mix to dry out to the touch before you give it a thorough drink, because the fine roots are easily suffocated by constantly soggy soil. Because it originates from cool, damp environments, it absolutely loves a gentle misting a few times a week to keep the foliage supple and dust-free. While it acts as a stunning, cascading accent for your indoor garden, it is incredibly important to know that English Ivy 'Gold Child' is not pet-safe. The foliage contains naturally occurring saponins that are highly toxic to both dogs and cats if chewed, so be sure to display this beautiful vine securely elevated in a hanging basket, safely out of reach of your curious furry companions.
