Variegated Ivy Care: Light, Pot Size, and Watering

Variegated ivy (Hedera) moved from kitchen (SE morning light) to bedroom (north) wilted. Back in kitchen, it needs careful watering due to overpotting (4" to 8" jump).

Key Adjustments

  • Light: Keep in kitchen—bright indirect light 6–8 hours.
  • Water: Allow top ½–1 inch to dry between thorough waterings.
  • Pot: Large pot increases rot risk; don't water on schedule.
  • Fertilizer: Not needed now.
  • Temp: Mid-70s is fine.

Monitor soil dryness, not calendar. The plant will stabilize with proper light and restrained watering.
