Good candidate for ivy?



Dunno but ours grows in Florida "soil" (sand) under oak trees.

There are a lot of "houseplants" which are exotic and do damage in
landscape in Florida. One of the worst is asparagus fern - bears red
berries, carried by birds, and becomes very weedy in hedges. I hate the
stuff, and it is impossible to dig out.

My mom planted ivy beneath a nice oak tree in Florida. It eventually
strangled the oak. I believe kudzu was once somebody's house plant, and
it had done horrendous damage in the south. We have python's and
poisonous toads in Florida now, so may as well give up )
