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.

This may just be my new favorite YA Fantasy series!
Format: Hardcover
*May contain spoilers Six of Crows is one of those books that I could truly kick myself for waiting so long to read. Now that I’ve finally finished reading it, all I keep thinking is what a fool I was to deprive myself of one of the most original and amazing fantasy stories I’ve ever read. I feel like I’m not even going to begin to do this book justice, but hopefully, since I’m pretty sure I’m one of the last people on the planet to actually read it, you guys will all just nod your heads in agreement because you already know why Six of Crows is such a fabulous read. For those unfamiliar with the basic storyline, Six of Crows follows Kaz Brekker, a teenage criminal mastermind, who has been offered an opportunity to achieve wealth beyond his wildest dreams. How? By completing what can probably best be described as Mission Impossible. He has to break into the Ice Court, a heavy guarded military stronghold that has never successfully been broken into before. Once inside, his mission is to locate and smuggle out a scientist who is being held hostage there because he possesses knowledge on how to amplify and weaponize magic. Kaz knows enough about the dangers of the Ice Court to know that, without the right team, this heist is going to be nearly impossible, possibly even a suicide mission. Lucky for Kaz though, he knows exactly who the right team is: a deadly gang of young thugs, thieves, and runaways who are just desperate enough to agree to be part of this crazy mission. LIKES What I loved most about Six of Crows are the characters. Leigh Bardugo has crafted some of the most fascinating and unique characters I’ve come across in YA fantasy. I always enjoy stories that feature an anti-hero and with Kaz and his “Crows,” we have 6 anti-heroes! I love anti-heroes because they’re always such complex characters and these characters are no different. What each of the Crows have in common is that they have no family and they’ve each had to do some pretty awful things in the name of survival, including resorting to thievery and murder. Through flashbacks that give us backstory on each of the characters, however, Bardugo manages to make this gang of thugs so sympathetic that you can’t help but fall in love with them. I also liked the angle that each character seemed to have their own, sometimes selfish motives, for wanting to be a part of Kaz’s mission and it added an element of suspense at times, as I wondered if someone would sabotage the mission to serve their own needs. It’s hard to pick a favorite character because they’re all so badass, but Kaz is definitely near the top of my list. As I’ve already mentioned, he’s a criminal mastermind. Even though he’s a teenager, his reputation precedes him and he is feared by many in Ketterdam, the city where the story takes place. Kaz can be as greedy as he can be cruel, but he’s also so brilliant, brazen, and daring that you can’t help being drawn to him. Kaz is also haunted by events from his past that left him alone and destitute, and he’s highly motivated by the desire for revenge against the man he holds responsible for what happened. In addition to Kaz, there are also two badass female characters, Inej and Nina. Inej, known as the wraith, has a reputation for being somewhat of a ninja. Kaz calls her his spider because she can climb her way pretty much anywhere and can do so undetected, a very handy skill in their line of “work.” She’s also very skilled with knives and is perhaps the most murderous member of Kaz’s team. I just loved watching her in action as she cut down anyone who posed a threat to the team. What made Inej especially fascinating to me was the connection between her and Kaz. As much as Kaz tries to be all business, all the time and never show any emotion or weakness, it’s clear that he has a soft spot when it comes to Inej and her safety. It’s also pretty clear that there’s a good chance the feeling is mutual. Nina is what is known as a Grisha, which means she possesses magical abilities. For the purposes of Kaz’s mission, Nina can use that magic to do useful things like slow people’s heartrates down until they lose consciousness. She can also use her powers for healing purposes, also handy when you’re on a super-dangerous mission. As we learn from her backstory, Nina’s people have been persecuted for years because of their magic -- imprisoned, tortured, and even burned at the stake. Because the Grisha are the ones whose magic would be weaponized, Nina has personal reasons for wanting to take part in this mission. Matthias is one of the characters that intrigued me the most. At first, I couldn’t stand him, but the more I got to know about him, the more I just grew to adore him. Kaz recruits him by breaking him out of jail and offering him a pardon for his crimes in exchange for his help with the mission. Kaz sees Matthias as one of the biggest assets to the team because he used to work in the Ice Castle and can therefore give them the overall layout of the place, how the security works, etc. Matthias is torn because he knows he should be loyal to the Ice Castle, but at the same time, how can you turn down a chance to be pardoned so that you can get your life back? What makes the whole situation even more complicated is that he and Nina have shared history and he holds her responsible for his imprisonment. Tension, much? I swear I was convinced those two were going to kill each other for about half the book! Beneath all that hate they seemed to have for each other though, you could sense there was something more, an almost smoldering attraction for one another. Let me tell you – I’m not usually big on romance, but I was shipping the heck out of Nina and Matthias! Jesper and Wylan. While these two guys were clearly assets to the team as well with their knowledge of weapons and explosives, respectively, what I loved most about Jesper and Wylan was that they provided a bit of comic relief where the other characters were so intense all the time. Jesper and Wylan teased each other relentlessly and their banter was just hilarious at times. The world building in Six of Crows is also top notch. Bardugo paints a vivid picture of Ketterdam with its rival street gangs swarming around duking it out for power. It’s a dark and gritty world, as well as a dangerous one, filled with assorted thieves, predators, and traitors. It’s hard to know who, if anyone, can be trusted. The atmosphere definitely creates a sensation that all of the characters are vulnerable to attack by anyone anywhere so they have to be in survival mode at all times. The Grisha magic system is also well thought out and vividly drawn. I went into Six of Crows without having read the Grisha series, which was probably a mistake as I’m sure it would have further enriched my understanding of the Grisha magic and their history, but even without having read it, I still felt like I completely understood the magic and why it would be such a valuable weapon if it could be amplified and harnessed. Imagine practically indestructible armies of Grisha fighting on your behalf. You’d be unstoppable. Action, Action, Action! As I’m sure you can imagine just based on the details of their mission, Six of Crows is truly action-packed. There are endless twists and turns, obstacles that need to be overcome, enemies that need to be taken out, plans that fall apart and then need to be improvised. Although the novel starts out at a fairly slow pace as we are meeting each character and establishing the world of Ketterdam, once Kaz and his gang get started on their missions, it’s like jumping on a thrill ride that doesn’t stop until the final page. DISLIKES I can’t really say this is a dislike of the book, but it did take me about a hundred pages or so to really become invested in the characters and get sucked into the story. Again, I’m chalking up my slow start to needing extra time to understand the Grisha magic and how it worked because I didn’t read the Grisha trilogy first. Once I did get sucked in, however, there was no stopping me. It probably took me 3 or 4 days to get to page 100, but then I inhaled the last 300 or so pages in another day and a half. I guess my advice would if you are struggling to get into it, stick with it until they actually get started with the planning of their mission. It might be a slow build in the beginning, but it’s a wild ride from that point to the very end. FINAL THOUGHTS I truly loved pretty much everything about Six of Crows, hence why I’m kicking myself for having waited so long to read it. Up until now, Victoria Schwab’s Shades of Magic series has been, hands down, my favorite YA fantasy series. I have to say though, Six of Crows is seriously giving it a run for its money. RATING: 4.5 STARS

Adult Fiction disguised as YA
Format: Kindle
When you first read the blurb and or the initial chapters of Crows, you’d think this was an adult fantasy book. The book even reads like adult fantasy, until you discover it’s anything but. I think the biggest plot twist to this is in the way the author matter-of-factly tells you the exact age of her characters and its always coupled after explaining that characters extraordinary background. Somehow it’s possible to be a seasoned assassin, rogue or racketeer (or all three, in that order) at just 13-17 years old. Somehow you can live the life of a jaded 50-year-old at the ripe ol’ age of 12. Somehow all the adults are either too rich, too dense or too dead (or all three, in that order) to operate a lucrative underground business, but kids are exceptionably capable. Somehow it’s possible to be a father-figure to people the same age as you. I’m specifically talking about Kaz here. He’s like that hardnose uncle who grunts all the time and tells you only what he wants you to hear. I loled each time he scolded a member of his crew. Initially (before I knew the ages of these people) I thought Kaz & Inej’s relationship was more a teacher/mentor relationship, but then it morphed into this awkward romance where Kaz has less personality than a rubber ducky and Inej a lukewarm glass of water. To be fair, Inej got better as the story progressed, becoming the only one I really liked. To the author’s credit, she does make a point to explain Numbuh One—I mean, Kaz’s abnormal cynical mannerism. But then the other characters (who are younger btw) act similarly. What’s their excuse? It was jarring to get behind, but what aided me through was that I just pictured everyone looking like the main cast from Kids Next Door and it helped tremendously! Matthidus and Nina are virtually the same character. Their chapters were a drag on the narrative due to the fact that these two NEVER STFU about what they did to one another. It’s the “woe, it’s me” amped up to a thousand. Jesper and Wylan were cool… that’s all I have to say about them. Never at one point did I have a liking to any of the characters (besides Inej), neither did I feel they were ever in any real danger. Kaz is a walking-talking dues ex machina. The characters find themselves in a bind and he already has the solution to their problems. He’s like Superman morphed with Batman while the other characters are just your bog standard Metropolis denizens who constantly need saving or guidance. In a nutshell, he’s a Mary Sue. I found the pacing bogged down to the point that it was hard to keep my eyes open while reading. Not because it’s badly written but because the author constantly reverts back to the characters’ backstory over and over again. There would be a needless flashback in the middle of a fight scene. Characters near death randomly float off to dream land while getting the crap beat out of them. It was jarring. Closing remarks All-in-All, Crows is a unique book. I can’t really talk about the plot without spoiling anything, but it’s innovative and engaging. I can say the book is worth your time if you can circumvent the kids playing grownup, then you should enjoy it.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️
