Does Swedish Ivy flower?

Yes, it can produce small white or pale purple flowers. It needs bright, indirect light and a stable environment to bloom, though it is grown primarily for its foliage.

Should I mist the leaves if they curl?

Misting can help temporarily, but it does not replace proper soil watering. Focus on keeping the roots hydrated first.

Likely causes

Dehydration
Possible
How to tell: The leaves look wilted and curl inward to conserve moisture. The soil feels dry and pulls away from the edges of the pot.
What to do: Give the plant a thorough watering until water drains from the bottom. Make sure to water every 5 to 10 days depending on your home temperature.
Heat Stress
Possible
How to tell: Leaves curl and feel crisp or dry to the touch. This often happens if the plant is sitting too close to a heater or in direct afternoon sun.
What to do: Move the plant to a cooler location with indirect light. Keep it away from heating vents or drafty windows.
