When ivy is brought indoors for the winter and is kept under conditions of low light, it will do best if temperatures are also low, and water and nutrients are applied sparingly to keep growth at a minimum.
For ivy, it is best to water so a little drains out the bottom of the pot and the whole soil ball is wet, then allow the plant to dry out almost to the point of stress before watering again.

Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans or Rhus toxicodendron) is a plant in the family Anacardiaceae.

This is because poison ivy will grow in either the ivy-like form or the brushy oak-like form depending on the moisture and brightness of its environment.
