Hedera helix ‘Pittsburgh’ — Trailing indoor ivy
The Hedera helix ‘Pittsburgh’, better known as indoor ivy, is a plant that is both hardy and elegant. Its dense and persistent foliage forms long flexible stems that gracefully hang down, bringing a touch of living nature to your interior.
Native to Europe and Asia, this iconic plant easily adapts to urban environments. It is perfect hanging, on a shelf, or in a planter, and helps purify the air while bringing a note of freshness and greenery.
Exposure & location
The ‘Pittsburgh’ ivy likes soft light and semi-shaded locations. It tolerates bright interiors without direct sun and even tolerates shadier corners.
- Exposure : partial shade or indirect light.
- Ideal : hanging near a window or placed on a high shelf.
- Temperature : between 15 and 25 °C, without cold drafts.
- Humidity : normal to slightly moist.
Verdeia tip: let its stems fall freely for a natural cascading effect, or train them on a support for a more structured look.
Watering & care
- Watering : moderate: keep the soil slightly moist without excess.
- Drainage : well-aerated substrate (universal potting soil + perlite).
- Fertilizer : once a month in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
- Care : light pruning as needed to stimulate branching and maintain a dense shape.
Avoid stagnant water and mist the foliage in summer to prevent dry edges.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Thanks to its flexible and trailing habit, the ‘Pittsburgh’ ivy fits wonderfully into a natural and lively decoration. It pairs perfectly with other plants with contrasting foliage for a harmonious jungle effect.
- To pair with : Pothos, Philodendron scandens, or Asplenium for a lush ensemble.
- Ideal planter : ceramic hanging planter or planter cover in natural fiber.
- Ambiance : perfect for a living room, a bright bathroom, or a sheltered terrace.
Hanging from the ceiling or on a high shelf, it instantly creates a soft and leafy atmosphere.
Verdeia tips
- Regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to promote the plant's breathing.
- Avoid overwatering, the main cause of leaf yellowing.
- Turn the plant from time to time for even growth.
- Lightly mist the foliage during hot periods to maintain its brightness.
- When hanging, let the stems fall freely for a natural cascade effect.
This ivy is an indestructible plant that brings structure and greenery to your interior, while requiring little attention.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
