- Light
- bright indirect. In a dim spot the growth goes thin and stringy and it becomes a magnet for spider mites
- Water
- keep lightly moist and give it cool, moving air. Ivy struggles more with hot dry rooms than with watering mistakes
- Toxicity
- toxic to dogs, cats and horses (ASPCA): triterpenoid saponins (hederagenin) cause vomiting, abdominal pain, drooling and diarrhea, and the foliage is more toxic than the berries. Also poisonous to people (NC State Extension, medium severity); the sap causes severe skin irritation
Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control; NC State Extension Plant Toolbox.
