The Glacier Ivy, known as Hedera helix ‘Glacier’, is a striking variety of English ivy known for its elegant, variegated foliage. This evergreen climbing or trailing plant is widely appreciated for its adaptability, resilience, and aesthetic appeal. It is a favorite among gardeners, indoor plant enthusiasts, and landscapers due to its ability to thrive in diverse conditions. Whether used as ground cover, a trailing houseplant, or a vertical accent on trellises and walls, Glacier Ivy adds a sophisticated charm to any setting. 

Glacier Ivy is commonly referred to as Variegated English Ivy due to its striking white and green foliage. Native to Europe and western Asia, it thrives in woodland environments, climbing trees and creeping along forest floors. Although Glacier Ivy itself is a cultivated variety, it retains the adaptability of its wild counterpart and can be grown in various climates, particularly in temperate regions. It has become naturalized in parts of North America, where it is commonly used in landscaping and erosion control. 

One of the most distinguishing features of Glacier Ivy is its variegated leaves, which have a unique blend of silvery-green centers and creamy-white margins.

The foliage is small to medium-sized, with a classic ivy shape consisting of three to five lobes. 

This cultivar is particularly valued for its compact growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, container gardening, or indoor decoration.

It is also more tolerant of indoor conditions compared to some other ivy varieties, thriving with moderate care.

When grown outdoors, Glacier Ivy can spread rapidly, reaching 10 feet long as a ground cover or climbing vine.

Indoors, its growth is more contained, typically extending 5 feet in trailing arrangements. Its moderate growth rate makes it easy to manage while still providing lush greenery for walls, trellises, or pots. Regular pruning can help control its spread and encourage bushier growth.

Glacier Ivy blooms from late summer to early fall with greenish-yellow flowers, just like other ivy varieties. However, it rarely flowers when grown indoors or in controlled landscapes, as flowering typically occurs on mature, unpruned vines in outdoor settings. When the flowers do appear, they are followed by small blackish-purple berries, which provide a food source for birds but are toxic to humans and pets if ingested. 

One of the key advantages of Glacier Ivy is its versatility. It can be used as a climbing plant, an indoor trailing plant, or as ground cover to suppress weeds and prevent soil erosion. Unlike some other ivy varieties, it has slightly better tolerance to lower light conditions, making it an ideal choice for indoor spaces with indirect sunlight. Additionally, it's frost tolerance makes it a reliable evergreen option in colder climates. However, care should be taken in warmer regions where it can become invasive if not maintained. 

When and How to Water Your Hedera Helix Glacier Ivy 

The Glacier Ivy is a drought-tolerant plant, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens and indoor spaces. Once established, it can survive with minimal watering, making it an ideal option for those looking for hardy, adaptable greenery. Its variegated leaves not only add visual appeal but also help it withstand different environmental conditions, including occasional dry spells. This ivy plant thrives when planted in the spring or early fall, allowing its roots to establish before extreme temperatures set in.

In spring and summer, during the active growing season, your Ivy plant requires moderate watering, ensuring that the soil remains slightly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so well-draining soil is essential. Indoors, it benefits from occasional misting to maintain humidity levels. 

In winter, during the dormancy period, Glacier Ivy plant requires less frequent watering, as the growth slows down. Water only when the soil feels dry to touch. It can tolerate cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost when grown outdoors in colder regions. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Hedera Helix Ivy Plant 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, Glacier Ivy plant thrives in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day.

A north- or east-facing window is ideal to provide the plant with enough light without scorching its delicate leaves.

It can tolerate low-light conditions, but this may slow down its growth.

If placed in an area with limited natural light, supplementing with grow lights can help maintain healthy foliage.

For outdoors cultivation, this ivy plant performs best in partial shade to full shade, as too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.

Ideally, it should receive about 3-4 hours of filtered or dappled sunlight each day. If planted in a sunnier location, providing afternoon shade can help prevent leaf damage. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Glacier Ivy prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH 6.0-7.0. A mixture of potting soil with added perlite or sand works well for container-grown plants, ensuring proper aeration and moisture retention. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Ivy plant to thrive.

Fertilizing once a year during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer with a ratio of about 5-10-5, promotes lush growth. A diluted liquid fertilizer or slow-release granules can be used, but over-fertilization should be avoided as it may lead to leggy growth. During the dormant season, fertilization should be stopped to allow the plant to rest. Ensuring proper soil conditions and minimal feeding in winter supports healthy growth once the active season resumes. 

Hardiness Zones & More

When grown indoors as a houseplant, your Hedera helix ivy plant thrives at temperatures between 60-75°F with moderate humidity levels. While it can tolerate dry indoor air, occasional misting or using a humidity tray helps prevent leaf drying. It requires bright, indirect light for optimal growth and should be rotated occasionally for light exposure. 

For outdoors cultivation, the Glacier Ivy is hardy in USDA zones 5-11.

It can withstand a range of temperatures but should be sheltered from harsh winter conditions in colder regions.

It thrives in shaded to partially shaded areas and benefits from consistent humidity levels.

Mulching around the base can help retain moisture and protect the roots from extreme temperatures. 

Wildlife Hedera Helix Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The greenish-yellow flowers of Glacier Ivy attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. These pollinators help promote biodiversity in gardens and natural landscapes.

According to the ASPCA, the Hedera helix is mildly toxic to humans and pets, including cats, dogs, and horses. Ingesting its leaves or berries can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor decor. 

How to Propagate Your Glacier Ivy 

Glacier Ivy can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Select a healthy, 4–6-inch stem cutting with several leaves. Remove the lower leaves and place the cutting in water or directly into a pot with moist, well-draining soil. If rooting in water, wait for roots to develop (typically within 2-3 weeks) before transplanting into soil. Keep the newly planted cutting in a warm, humid environment with indirect light for successful establishment. 

Key Takeaways

  1. The Glacier Ivy plant features silvery-green leaves with creamy-white edges, making it a striking addition to indoor and outdoor spaces.
  2. It can climb walls, cascade from hanging baskets, or spread as ground cover, adapting well to different gardening styles.
  3. This ivy remains evergreen year-round and hardy in USDA zones 5-11, making it an excellent choice for colder climates.
  4. Once established, it can survive with minimal watering, making it an ideal option for those looking for hardy, adaptable greenery.
  5. Unlike some other ivies, this variety can tolerate lower light levels indoors, making it a great houseplant.

The Bottom Line

Overall, the Glacier Ivy (Hedera helix ‘Glacier’) is a beautiful and adaptable plant that enhances both indoor and outdoor spaces with its unique variegated foliage. Its ability to thrive in various conditions, combined with its moderate growth rate and versatility, makes it a popular choice for homeowners and landscapers alike. While it requires moderate light and well-draining soil, it is adaptable and can withstand occasional dry spells. Whether grown in a hanging basket, allowed to trail elegantly along a shelf, or used as a ground cover in gardens, Glacier Ivy is a timeless and practical addition to any plant collection.

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

Astonishing, Fun, Entertaining, Fantastic
Format: Kindle
I consider The Martian my favorite fictional novel of the last 15-20 years. The movie was incredible in that they actually followed the book closer than 99% of other films based on books. It remains my favorite movie of the last 15 years or so as well. I don't know anyone (personally) that loves either of them as much as I do. With that said, I was REALLY looking forward to Artemis. It was good...but, it was certainly not in the same caliber as The Martian was (at least not for me). I enjoyed it a lot, however and appreciated how author Andy Weir chose to go in a completely different direction and not just rehash another similar story, which I am certain would have been great as well. As a result, I was cautious regarding Project Hail Mary. It sounded a little too close to The Martian, but yet, also different in that the circumstances simply could not be more opposite and the stakes so much higher. I'm trying to figure out the best way to summarize without giving too much away from this utterly compelling novel. As I read several reviews, I noticed a recurring theme: SCIENCE. Lots and LOTS of science. Holy cow, they were right. Many years ago I read Apollo 13 and Jim Lovell and his co-writer, try as they might, simply could not dumb down Orbital Mechanics anywhere near enough for me to have even a minor clue as to what they were attempting to say...I just skipped 90% of it and hoped that the sentences written afterwards, would help to make sense of what I had just skimmed over. I'm a lot of things, but a math wizard is definitely not one of them. Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) had an amazing talent for dumbing-down the science of what he was trying to explain in ways that genuinely made sense (most of the time). Not everyone has this talent, and I would say Andy Weir falls squarely in between. He's certainly better than Jim Lovell, but not quite as good as Crichton. But then again, outside of a science textbook, I haven't really read anything with quite as MUCH science as Project Hail Mary. So maybe he's just as good, but he just puts more science into his books than Crichton, maybe that's it...? Either way, be prepared for a lot of astonishingly interesting science within the pages of this novel...and I DO mean a LOT. I don't say this to make you wary or steer you away...on the contrary, Andy Weir has a special talent for making hard science truly entertaining. The book opens with an absolutely amazing and frightening premise: an astronaut awakes from an induced coma to find the only other two people on board have died at some point along their journey...but it gets worse. He has no idea who he is, or why he's on the ship, and oh yeah, they look to be a long way from home. A really, REALLY long way from home. In fact, the sun he sees isn't actually OUR sun at all. He's managed to leave our solar system entirely. And he has no idea why. ((Minor Spoilers)) The book goes through some clever flash-backs, which set the stage for why the mission happens, and slowly, carefully explains how they managed to get so far away from earth in such a short amount of time. Basically, earth's sun seems to be dying. At the rate of decay, we have maybe 19 years left before the gradual cooling has catastrophic consequences resulting in the death of billions (best guess). Why the sun is dimming is quite the conundrum in the first place. Turns out it really isn't dying, it's being killed by an outside source...which turns out to be easily the greatest find in history. It's alien life, and they are using the sun for food, essentially. It's alien life, but not intelligent life. But still, wow! ALIENS, right??? After this monumental discovery, and some tremendous research done by the most improbable scientist, the investigation into what is happening and why and what to do about it expands exponentially to other nations in order to pool all the resources possible to hopefully save the sun, and by extension, the human race as well. They learn. A LOT. A plan is put together, and with the help of the newly discovered microscopic alien life, which can also double as a power source (along with a few other nifty surprises), they begin to create one last, Hail Mary that could very well be the last chance we might have to save earth. It's audacious. It's dangerous, and it is absolutely critical that it succeed. As our astronaut's memory slowly unravels, so does his identity: Ryland Grace. He's a teacher on earth. Just a science teacher. Not even a college professor. He's amazingly smart, though. But he's no astronaut...and certainly not one who would volunteer to go on a one-way mission to another solar system to "try" and save humanity. Yet here he is. Alone. light years from earth, trying to solve the biggest riddle in all of human history. Ryland accepts his situation, such as it is, with relative indifference (for the most part). It doesn't matter HOW he got here. He's here now and he may as well use that time to be as productive as possible, right? Along the way, he unravels even more information regarding the microscopic alien life which is slowly dimming our sun during some additional flashbacks. The aliens, dubbed, "Astrophage" are quite the galactic plague as it turns out. Stars all over the galaxy are also losing their light, all due to the little buggers. All that is, except one particular star named, Tau Ceti. Now why would that one star be unaffected by Astrophage, when every single star around it has been affected to some degree. The plan is to go there and figure it out and send the information back, hopefully in time to save the sun before the damage to earth is beyond repair. There is an incredible amount of stuff going on. The story switches from Tau Ceti to flashbacks of how the whole mission was planned and implemented (which is VERY entertaining, especially Director Stratt, who may actually be my favorite character in the entire novel). Weir is becoming quite adept at building tension, and abruptly switching the story from Tau Ceti back to earth and building more of the backstory then switching back to Tau Ceti. Keeping it all in check and most importantly, interesting all while mixing in a healthy dose of science, which I am to understand is pretty much all genuine, is quite the juggling act. I have long known science can be astronomically entertaining (see what I did there?) when done right...but unfortunately very few people in a position to teach science actually know the best way to create that interest in others. I can say without reservation, Andy Weir definitely knows how to do it...at least in written form. There is so much I want to say more regarding this truly phenomenal story, but I simply cannot without ruining a lot of the fun and surprises revealed along the way...and it is killing me to keep it locked in. Though I labeled a spoiler warning earlier, I don't think it gave away any more than what the author himself has revealed in interviews he has done regarding the book, and what you can glean from reading the summary here and just a couple other reviews. Tying all of that science together is truly astonishing to me. The creativity to put it into a novel that is remarkably exciting to read is nothing more than incredible talent. Kudo's to Andy Weir for not just hitting a home run, Project Hail Mary is a Grand Slam all the way. I truly did not want this story to end. By the way, I enjoyed the ending quite a bit. I don't know if everyone will. But it was fine for me. I think the ending screams "sequel" at some point too. A lot was left open-ended (IMO) and I wouldn't mind reading a follow-up to this. It doesn't HAVE to happen, but there are a lot of ways where the story could go if Andy chose to do it. Just sayin'. Just run out and buy this book.
