The versatile indoor plant Hedera helix ivy, commonly known as English ivy, is a valued for its attractively shaped, deep green leaves. The plant exists in a large number of varieties, including "Gold Heart," which displays green and creamy yellow leaves, or "Buttercup," with leaves that are bright yellow in sunlight and pale green in shade. English ivy is a rambunctious grower that trails gracefully from a hanging basket or winds itself up a trellis. Outdoors, English ivy is suitable for planting in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 9

New plants will start easily from cuttings taken at almost any time of year; the cooler periods, however, are preferable.

The first way to propagate ivy indoors is by layering.

For starters, select vines or a runner which is fairly long.

Short pieces, known as mallet cuttings, with only one strong node and having potential roots below a tuft of leaves, do nicely; so take longer cuttings of older wood.

Beautiful plant @ctrl-alt-nwo! When they think of ivy, most people think of traditional English Ivy (Hedera helix), however the number of varieties of Ivy is enormous. Ivy species range in form from the huge 6-8 inch leaved Algerian Ivy (Hedera canariensis) to the tiny foliage of the hybrid 'Itsy Bitsy' or heart leaf ivy (H. 'scutifolia').
The leaves may me crinkled as with the variety 'Curlilocks', or variegated types like 'California gold' (yellow, gold, and green) or Hedera helix 'discolor' (green and creamy white).

the leaves of Hedera canariensis are broad, 5 to 20 cm, glossy dark green in colour and a little leathery, with 1-5 lobes, regular in size and shape. It is cultivated in gardens and used in floral arrangements. The flowers are greenish and the fruits, globular and black when ripe. Young stems are green or greenish-brown, sometimes tinged with red or purple, becoming grey or grey brown at maturity.
