English Ivy, Common Ivy 'Royal Hustler'

Have a positive and a negative, cancelling each other out to neutral!

Positive: A beautiful (and quite hearty) house plan...Read Moret. Great in a hanging basket or stick a small trellis in the pot; it doesn't care either way! It doesn't throw a fit about some neglect or environmental changes. Will even tolerate full shade for extended periods of time, although it will stop growing. Put it back in a sunny spot, and it takes off, right where it left off! Would rather be under-watered than over-watered, as with just about any plant.

Negative: I made the mistake of taking shoots of it and planting it in one of my flower beds. It looks pretty, but is far more trouble than it's worth to keep it under control. Don't plant it unless you intend to let it take over.
