Care Notes from the Greenhouse
- Light: Bright, indirect light keeps English Ivy Green California looking its best, and it tolerates medium light. Avoid harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist — English Ivy Green California likes steady moisture and can wilt or crisp if it dries out fully. Don't let it sit in water, and ease off in winter.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents.
- Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Good to know: Prefers cooler spots with good airflow; watch for spider mites in hot, dry air and rinse the foliage now and then.

From Our Greenhouse to Your Home
Florida Plant ships across the continental U.S. Your plant ships from Florida and California, USA, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil unless noted. Orders dispatch within 1–4 business days, early in the week so plants don't sit over a weekend in transit.
During cold weather, orders to colder areas are sent with a heat pack, and we may hold delivery to very cold areas until it's safe to ship. Every plant is backed by our 48-hour live-arrival guarantee — contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos if there's an issue.
Because this is a live plant, each one is unique — size, fullness, color, and shape vary naturally, and minor cosmetic imperfections can happen. Give your plant a little time to settle in after it arrives.
