Variegated Ivy
Hedera helix
Variegated Ivy (Hedera helix) is a hardy, fast-growing trailing plant featuring classic ivy-shaped leaves edged in creamy white or pale green variegation. Its versatile growth habit allows it to trail, climb, or be trained along hardscape, making it a great choice for adding texture, coverage, and contrast to bioactive vivariums and terrariums.
This plant adapts well to a range of conditions and thrives in cooler to moderate temperatures with moderate humidity. It can be used in mantis enclosures, jumping spider setups, and other invertebrate habitats where controlled growth and good airflow are maintained. Variegated Ivy is especially useful for filling space quickly and creating natural climbing pathways.
