Ivys form long tendrils that can grow up to 20 meters long in tropical regions. Aerial roots develop on the shoots, but they are not suitable for climbing. You must therefore tie up an ivy or you can simply hang it in a hanging basket.
The ivy can hang on walls or ceilings
Maintain ivy hanging in the hanging basket
Efeututes are very popular because they can be used in so many ways. You can be as

keep in the room. It's easiest if you just let the tendrils hang down. That is why the ivy is an ideal planting for hanging baskets.
Put several plants in a planter. Depending on the diameter, you can plant three to six vines. Just an ivy alone does not look so lush. If the tendrils get too long, simply cut them off.
Hang hanging baskets childproof
Ivy are poisonous. Hang the hanging basket (€11.99) so that children and pets cannot reach fallen leaves and that no liquid can drip from the leaves onto the ground.
Green walls and windows with ivy
If you don't just want to leave the ivy hanging, you can use it to green entire walls in the room - especially since the ivy can also cope with little light.
A few nails are enough for the wall greening, to which you simply attach the tendrils. You can also run the vines right around windows or attach them to shelves.
As a climbing plant, the ivy needs a climbing aid
If the tendrils are not just to hang down, but the ivy is to be grown as a climbing plant, you need a climbing aid. This can be a trellis, through the mesh of which you insert the individual shoots.
Epithic trunks, which are wrapped in moss and look very decorative, are very popular. The tendrils of the ivy are attached to it with clips. The clamps must not be too tight, as the ivy will then get yellow leaves.
In principle, everything is suitable as a climbing aid to which you can attach the shoots of the ivy.
tips
In young ivy, the leaves are between five and ten centimeters in size. The older the plant gets, the larger the leaves become. They can reach a size of up to 40 centimeters.
