Care Guide for your Needlepoint Ivy:

• Light: This ivy thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some shade, it will flourish with plenty of filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be mindful of drainage.
• Humidity: Needlepoint Ivy enjoys a humid environment. Mist the leaves regularly, especially during dry periods, or place the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture but doesn't become waterlogged. A mix formulated for indoor plants or a blend of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite works well.
• Temperature: This ivy prefers average room temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
• Fertilizer: Feed your Needlepoint Ivy with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning: Pinch back the stems regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess. You can also train the vines to climb a small trellis or moss pole.

With a little love and attention, your Needlepoint Ivy will reward you with its captivating beauty and lush foliage!
