Ivy Common names: ivy, English ivy

Description: These vine-like foliage plants are available in several shades of green, some with white or yellowish variegation. Leaf shapes vary with cultivars from pointed to almost round and range from 2 to 4 inches long. Branches may produce leaves of a different shade of color than the rest of the plant. Spherical, conical, double-sphered and novelty-formed topiaries also are available.

Special care: Provide bright light and temperatures of 60 to 70 F/16 to 21 C. Ivies live several years with proper care. Remove dead leaves. Check soil for moisture and drench plants if soil is dry. Do not allow ivies to dry because severe dryness will kill them. Remove withered leaves.

Florists have always known that flowers make people happy, and now scientific research proves flower power. Aboutflowers.com highlights university research proving the emotional and behavioral benefits of flowers and plants. Rutgers research shows that the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. Another Rutgers study demonstrates that flowers ease depression, inspire social networking and refresh memory as we age. A Harvard study reveals that people feel more compassionate toward others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when fresh cut flowers are present in the home. And a Texas A&M study demonstrates that workers' idea generation, creative performance and problem-solving skills improve substantially in workplace environments that include flowers and plants.
