Sweetheart Ivy (Hedera helix 'Sweetheart') is a popular perennial that is most commonly used as a houseplant. This houseplant is known for its heart-shaped leaves, ability to cascade down containers, and trailing habit on walls or trellises. We recommend planting your Sweet Ivy plant in a hanging basket to show off its beautiful trailing growth habit. This houseplant thrives in an equal mix of sun and shade but never direct sunlight. Try placing it near an east or north-facing window for best sunlight conditions. Make sure to keep this plant far away from pets and small children because it has toxic properties that can harm your loved ones if ingested.
