Ivy is hardy. When caring for in pots or tubs, however, it can make sense to protect the plant from frost in winter. Wrap the pot with burlap or other suitable materials. In very cool locations, place the pot on an insulating surface.
Water the ivy regularly in winter. Most ivy plants do not die from the cold, but from excessive drought.
