      @@epicgardening Hi there, thanks for all the videos, I watch you quite a lot since I started my small urban jungle. It all started with a dipladenia which made me get more and more plants. I now own a small elephant bush bonsai forest, other succulents as well, got my aloe and snake plants, pothos and dumb cane, fittonia and recently got some ivys as well. My bigest fear now is that there won't be enough light in the autumn-winter as the room in the flat I rent is westerly oriented (probably this is the reason I haven't started this hobby until now). The question is if normal CFL bulbs will work, provided is white-blue light (6-7000 kelvin) or do I need special light bulbs which will cost a fortune and probably won't afford? I would just hate seeing my plants suffer and potentially die because of not enough light.

    Notes: needs bright indirect light. Report in pit one inch bigger than previous. Enjoys fertile, quick draining soil. 1/3 perlite, 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 peat moss. Water quickly to let it seep in for a second, then water more throughly after a minute. Soil and roots will be more responsive to watering. Report annually. Droopy yellow vines means over watering. They can get long and stretchy so clip right above a leaf node.

    I know this is an old, old video however English Ivy and the varieties don't need a particular soil. They really adapt and grow their tails off. Indoors obviously you cannot overwater. Fascinating because yes I see them in the yard is outdoors plenty of water is not a problem. I've seen it rain and rain and they grow and grow. Indoors of course that is the kiss of doom to overwater it like most houseplants stuck in pots.

I feel silly for asking, as you took it from outside, but does this plant act differently in terms of putting out roots then it would outside?
    Haven't found the answer anywhere so would be great to know. I really do not want to destroy this rental apartment! Thank you.

      Yes, English ivy where it is invasive is very vigorous and can strangle trees with their hefty roots and vines. You need to remove the ivy, pulling it up manually as much as possible. It will take a few years staying on top of removing all the ivy that will try to grow back, but eventually you will get it clear.

    Great video. I just bought my first Ivy. I live in an apartment I really don’t get much light I bought a grow lamp though is that going to be good enough or am I just wasting my time

    • @epicgardening
      @epicgardening  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ivy will do just fine in a lower-light situation - it grows as an invasive in most areas which means it typically needs much less in the way of light, nutrition, etc. to survive!

    hi Epic i just found your vids. I just weeded an English ivy plant from my yard. It is still intact root and all. I am wondering if I can use it as an indoor start? Would i prepare it as any other cutting?

      If queen ants have laid eggs in the ivy, it will be fine because the ant pheromones neutralise the poison..🐵🐵🌱🌿🍀☘🐝🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

    7:15 "They are really good food for birds.." except don't feed them to birds because they're, you know, an invasive species.
