I did a thing this weekend. I bought another plant. this is an ivy, and I wanted one more plant, so I got this one.
Here is some information on the Mini-Adam Ivy that I found.
I just got my last plant I wanted an ivy plant and found this one so I thought I would give it a try and hopefully it will grow.
I will update this page with pictures, I will try and do them once a month or every six weeks.
English Ivy (Hedera Helix) ‘Mini Adam’ makes a great ornamental Ivy with its slightly elongated variegated leaves. It looks great in a hanging basket. As the name suggests, this is a miniature version of English Ivy ‘Adam’s Choice’.
Hedera – Ivy – is an evergreen climbing or ground-creeping woody plant. When creeping, it rarely exceeds 20 cm in height, but when climbing on suitable surfaces, using specialized hairs that enable it to cling, it can climb to at least 30m above the ground. The leaves of ivy are shiny, dark green (pale green when young) with 3 – 5 lobes. Mature plants produce yellow-green flower clusters, followed by black berries. All parts of the plant are toxic, and contact with the sap may irritate skin, or cause an allergic reaction. There are many cultivars. ‘Adam’ ivy makes a lovely houseplant with small, mid-green leaves variegated with white and silver.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hedera helix, the common ivy, European ivy, or just ivy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae. It is native to most of Europe and parts of western Asia. Ivy is a clinging evergreen vine that grows on tree trunks, walls, and fences in gardens, waste spaces, and wild habitats. Ivy is popular as an ornamental plant but escaped plants have become naturalized outside its native range. Ivy has considerable cultural significance and symbolism.
