Description
English ivy is a sought after evergreen, perennial, air purifying, woody vine that's a rare species for the gardening community in India. English ivy can act as a ground cover, spreading horizontally and reaching 8 inches in height. Due to its aerial rootlets, it can climb up to 80 feet high after maturity. The plant will eventually bear insignificant greenish flowers, but it is grown primarily for its evergreen leaves. In this regard, ivy can be classified as a foliage plant. The best time to plant English ivy is spring. It is a fast, aggressive grower that is considered invasive in many areas. Keep a watchful eye on children and pets because English ivy is toxic to humans and animals.
A study by NASA found that it is one of the best plants for improving indoor air quality by passively absorbing toxins such as nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde.
This plant is also known for its medicinal properties as an anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, and antioxidant and for respiratory problems.
