Product description
Baby Hedera Helix, also more commonly known as English Ivy, is a small house plant with lobed leaves in dark green, edged with creamy yellow. Leaves grow on beautiful, trailing stems which begin to cascade over the edge of the pot.
Your Baby Hedera Helix plant will grow well in most conditions in the home. Since these indoor plants are native to England, they can grow well in cold conditions, and they can grow well in bright sunlight as well as shade. Leave the soil to dry out between watering, and mist regularly, especially during any warmer periods.
The miniature size of this baby plant makes it perfect for smaller homes and spaces. It would look fabulous in the living room, as bedroom plants or bathroom plants, but a baby plant is also great as a desk plant to brighten up an office, or to brighten up a small shelf, where the trailing stems can cascade beautifully over the edges. A trailing plant like this one is also perfect as a hanging plant.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
To encourage bushier growth, pinch back trailing stems and remove any yellowing leaves regularly. If growing as a climber, guide the stems along a support structure for an attractive display. Rotate potted plants occasionally to ensure even light exposure. With proper care, Hedera will thrive as a beautiful and low-maintenance addition to your indoor or outdoor space.
How to Water
Water Hedera regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. During the active growing season, water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. If growing indoors, use filtered or rainwater when possible, as Ivy can be sensitive to the chemicals in tap water.
How to Plant
To plant Hedera, select a spot with well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. If planting outdoors, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, ensuring the plant sits at the same depth as in its container. Space plants 30–60 cm apart, depending on the variety and the coverage desired. For potted Ivy, use a general-purpose potting mix and a container with drainage holes. Place the plant in a location with partial shade or bright, indirect light for best results.
