Growing Swedish Ivy in Alabama

Provide bright indirect light or filtered shade; avoid harsh afternoon sun. Grow in loose, well-drained potting mix and water when the surface begins to dry, keeping the roots lightly moist rather than soggy. Pinch stems to encourage a fuller basket. In Alabama, enjoy it outdoors during warm weather and move it inside before frost; it is generally hardy only in zones 10–11. Repot when roots crowd the container.
