Light: Part sun to shade.
Fertilizing: I have been unable to find any reference to feeding of any type, considering how hardy and potentially invasive it is, I am not surprised. I would treat it the same as any other low maintenance foliage plant. Occasionally feedings and of course when you transplant.
Blooming: The flowers are produced from late summer until late autumn, individually small, in 3-5 cm diameter umbels, greenish-yellow. Flowers are small and inconspicuous, followed by black berries that are poisonous.
Dormancy: Being evergreen, it does grow in the winter, but at a much slower rate.
Propagation: Cuttings, layering, grafting. Roots by itself anywhere vine touches the ground.
Toxicity: Toxic.
Problems: No serious insect or disease problems. Aphids, mealy bugs, caterpillars and scale may appear. Watch for leaf spots, canker, bacterial leaf spot, stem rot and powdery mildew. Mites can be significant problem. I have had, in personal experience, a lot of trouble with spider mites. Treat it ASAP! I have lost all but one of my Ivy plants because of this. My problem was probably a severe infestation, but still, be versed in identifying and caring for plants that get attacked by spider mites. Climbing vines around homes easily crawl into unintended areas, curl around gutters and damage painted surfaces, loose mortar or aluminum siding if growth is not closely monitored.
