English ivy (Hedera helix) is a popular houseplant known for its dark green, waxy, lobed leaves and its ability to grow as a trailing or climbing vine. It is a low-maintenance, versatile plant that prefers bright, indirect light and moist, well-drained soil. While it offers air-purifying benefits, it's important to note that it is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation, so it should be kept away from children and pets.  Dark green with creamy white veins or variegated patterns in some cultivars. The juvenile leaves are typically lobed, often with a heart-shaped base, while mature leaves can be un-lobed and spade-shaped.
