What is the price of ivy?
The price of ivy depends on the variety and the size of the plant. It also matters whether you want to buy many plants for an ivy corner, or if you only need one plant for the flower window or the bedroom.
Buy ivy at the hardware store - inexpensive but often inferior

If you buy cheap ivy, you should put the plant in the garden right away. Indoor plants are often kept very moist. It pays to repot these immediately after purchase and to plant in fresh soil.
Put emphasis on quality and healthy plants, buy ivy in the garden shop. This is more expensive, but usually you enjoy your ivy for a longer time.
