Let's put up a good show! • Swedish Ivy is displayed best when it is grown in hanging baskets. • It is appealing to see a ground cover of Swedish ivy in gardens.

Swedish ivy grows well, both outdoors and indoors. It just needs moderate temperature to grow. It can tolerate cool temperatures during winter, but will wither if kept in freezing degrees for long. Pruning your plant results in healthy new growth. It is essential to prune the young Swedish ivy so that they get a thick, bushy foliage. In many instances, it has been seen that pruning helped to revive dying plants as well. You can also have newer growth from the pruned sections of the plant. The thumb rule for correct water requirements is to water it when you observe the top layer to be dry. These houseplants are very easy to grow and do well if the water level is kept optimum. Care should be taken not to keep the soil soggy. The leaves, which form the key attraction of this plant variety, may lose its shine if kept dry for long intervals. The soil requirement varies from neutral to mildly acidic. A mixture of pot soil and peat moss does wonders to the plant. Place this soil mixture in a well-drained pot. If you are growing Swedish ivy indoors, always keep the pot in a place where it can obtain the morning sunlight. During the day, you can have it placed in such a way that it receives filtered sunlight; for instance, curtain-filtered light helps. Hard light can cause your plant to droop. But light requirements are subject to change, owing to season change. Fertilizers are indispensable to witness beautiful lush foliage for long. The ideal one for Swedish ivy is any water-soluble fertilizer. During the growing phase, maintain a three-week gap. Once the growing period is over, reduce it to once a month.
