Ivy Geraniums are unique in the cultural requirements and should not be treated the same as common Zonal Geraniums.  Light and temperature are two factors that should be considered.  Ivy Geraniums prefer moderate temperatures. If the temperatures are between 65 and 80 degrees F, place them in full sun. When the temperatures are above 85 degrees F, hang them in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.
