Angyo Star Tree Ivy
x Fatshedera lizei 'Angiostar'Angyo Star Ivy (Creeping Jenny) is a versatile and fast-growing groundcover that adds a unique charm to gardens. Known for its striking, star-shaped leaves and vibrant green foliage, this perennial plant spreads quickly, creating a dense carpet of greenery. Angyo Star Ivy is an excellent choice for shaded areas where other plants may struggle. It is particularly suited for filling gaps in garden beds, along walkways, or under trees where the ground needs a touch of life. Its low-growing habit and ability to tolerate both partial and full shade make it a perfect option for areas with limited sunlight.
Despite its delicate appearance, Angyo Star Ivy is hardy and low-maintenance. It grows rapidly, making it a great option for ground cover, erosion control, or as a decorative feature in mixed beds. When in bloom, it produces small yellow flowers, but it is primarily appreciated for its vibrant foliage and ability to quickly fill empty spaces. This ivy is great for creating lush, textured groundcovers that offer year-round greenery.
Care Instructions:
Planting:
Plant Angyo Star Ivy in a location with partial to full shade, as it prefers low-light conditions. Prepare well-draining, fertile soil and space the plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for natural spreading. It’s ideal for areas under trees, shaded walkways, or containers.
Watering:
Prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate short dry spells once established. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during the growing season. Be careful not to overwater, as it can cause root rot in soggy soil.
Pruning:
Trim back the ivy in early spring or late fall to prevent it from becoming too invasive. Regular pruning can help control its spread and maintain a neat appearance. You can also remove dead or yellowing leaves as needed to promote fresh growth.
Pest Control:
Angyo Star Ivy is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract slugs or snails. Keep the area around the plant free of debris to reduce hiding spots for these pests. If needed, use an organic slug repellent or manually remove pests.
Soil Tips:
Angyo Star Ivy prefers slightly acidic to neutral, well-draining soil. While it can tolerate a variety of soil types, adding compost or organic matter will enhance its growth. Avoid heavy, compacted soils that don’t drain well, as this can lead to root rot.
