All your questions about ivy
When should ivy be repotted?
Ivy is an excellent indoor plant, with its attractive foliage all year round and its qualities as a depolluting plant.
Repotting your ivy is best done during its resting period, i.e. in winter. Repotting every two years, or when the roots have completely filled the pot, is generally sufficient.
Use a light, draining substrate. Take the opportunity to do a little fitness pruning.
Ivy in literature
“Ivy like that, even a king could not get rid of it.”
Shakespeare, Le Roi Lear
