| Description | A relatively easy plant to grow. Likes bright light in a cool site. This is not a true Ivy. I call these plants "Ivy wanabes". |

| Plant Type | All Plants, Indoor Foliage |

| Author's Notes | A good plant to use in hanging baskets or outdoor pots in the shaded areas of the yard. |
