Hedera helix ‘Wonder’

Water when the upper layer of the growing medium begins to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain away. Aim for lightly moist soil without keeping the roots permanently wet, and avoid repeatedly allowing the plant to become completely dry.

Give ‘Wonder’ plenty of bright, indirect light for healthy, compact growth. It can tolerate softer light, although growth may become slower or more stretched. Avoid prolonged harsh sunlight through glass, particularly during the hottest part of the day.

‘Wonder’ appreciates moderate humidity and generally prefers cooler conditions than many tropical houseplants. Keep it away from hot radiators and excessively warm, dry positions. Good airflow around the foliage is particularly useful.

Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser around once a month during active growth in spring and summer, following the manufacturer's instructions. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

‘Wonder’ is a fast-growing trailing and climbing plant with flexible stems that can be allowed to cascade or trained around a support. Repot when noticeably root-bound into a slightly larger pot using a light, well-draining houseplant mix. Longer stems can be trimmed to control its size and encourage fuller, bushier growth.

Hedera helix ‘Wonder’ is not considered pet safe and can cause problems if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs and other pets that may chew the foliage. If you suspect your pet has eaten part of the plant, contact your vet for advice.
