        The occasional question ...<\/span><\/h3>

        What is an internode?<\/span><\/h2>

        Ivy leaves are arranged alternately on the stem, once on one side and once on the other, and so on. The place where the leaf attaches to the stem is called the node. The space between two consecutive nodes is called the\u2019knot.<\/strong><\/p>

        The distance between the nodes varies greatly depending on the species and cultivar. The distance between nodes is therefore often a distinctive characteristic of varieties.<\/p>

        Ivy with short internodes is compact and well covered with leaves. They often form thick mats. In contrast, ivy with long internodes has sparser leaves on much longer stems. This type of ivy forms a less dense cover, which can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the purpose and the use to which it is to be put.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
