| Not harmful to animals. The distance between leaves is controld by amount of light low light = greater distance, the plant as it grows produces "small leaves" at first but then they continue to increase in size..... over fertilization will result in rapid growth & give the appearence of being open... |

| You probably are aware that most types of ivy are considered to be very invasive in many areas. Having been on ivy pulls in some of our parks,(back breaking work!) I always advise people now to plant something else instead. Among recommended plants are salal, deer fern or epimedium. |
