Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the English Ivy
English Ivy is a trailing plant with fleshy, glossy leaves that can grow both indoors and outdoors. It's known for its ability to adapt to different light conditions and its low maintenance requirements. The plant's vines can be trained to climb or left to trail, making it versatile for various home decor styles. In India, it's a popular choice for adding greenery to balconies, living rooms, and even offices.
Light & Placement
English Ivy thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Place it near a window with filtered light or in a spot that receives morning sun. Indoors, it works well as a hanging plant or on a high shelf where its vines can cascade naturally. Outdoors, it can be grown in shaded areas or on trellises.
Watering & Humidity
Water English Ivy when the top inch of soil feels dry. This drought-tolerant plant prefers slightly dry conditions over soggy soil. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. The plant appreciates moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor levels. Mist the leaves occasionally in dry weather or place the pot on a pebble tray to increase humidity around the plant.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
English Ivy is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs. Symptoms of ingestion may include vomiting, drooling, or abdominal discomfort. If you have curious pets, consider placing the plant in an elevated location or choosing a pet-safe alternative from gardengro's collection.
