Plectranthus Swedish Ivy Care Guide
This fast-growing, trailing plant is extremely low-maintenance and ideal for beginners. It tolerates a wide range of indoor conditions and bounces back quickly from neglect.
Watering
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as Swedish Ivy prefers slightly dry conditions between waterings. Ensure containers have proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but may grow leggy. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves, especially in variegated varieties.
Temperature
Prefers temperatures between 60°F-75°F (16°C–24°C). Protect from cold drafts and avoid exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), especially outdoors.
Common Problems
- Yellowing leaves from overwatering or poor drainage

- Pests like spider mites or aphids in dry indoor air
- Leaf drop from cold stress or low humidity
