Green Ivy 12 Feet from South Window: Pushing the Limit

True Ivy Needs More Light

If it's Hedera (true ivy), 12 feet from a south window is marginal. It may survive but with little error margin for watering/repotting.

Better Options

Move closer for several hours of direct sun.
Or replace with pothos or philodendron—they thrive in that spot.
