Goldchild ivy
Hedera helix · House plants
How to recognise Goldchild ivy, when it is in season and how to keep it fresh.
- Season
- Year-round
- Storage
- Not stored in the cooler – kept at normal room/shop temperature as a house plant.
- Cats and dogs
- Toxic – keep out of reach of cats and dogs
How to recognise it
- Trailing or climbing vine with small lobed leaves
- Leaves variegated with creamy-yellow to cream margins and green centre
- Woody, flexible stems that root easily at nodes
- Leathery, glossy leaf surface
- Compact, bushy habit in pots
Care
Keep compost evenly moist but not waterlogged, allow the top layer to dry slightly between watering. Mist occasionally to keep humidity up and wipe leaves clean of dust. Avoid direct hot sun which can scorch variegated leaves; bright indirect light keeps the variegation strongest. Not sensitive to ethylene in the way cut flowers are.
Easy to confuse with
- Hedera helix 'Glacier' – greyish-green leaves with narrower white margin
- Hedera canariensis 'Gloire de Marengo' – larger leaves, broader cream edge
