An office plant potted 14 years ago has grown into a 600ft monster - hanging from computer monitors and it even has its own sponsorship deal. Bosses Allie Brennan, 51, and her husband, Des, 57, bought the ivy as a small potted cutting in 2009 to brighten up the work space.
Now, more than 14 years later, the plant has grown to almost 600ft - sprouting new shoots to pin up across the office walls and ceiling "every day". The ivy grows at an impressive rate of six inches per month and covers almost the entire office of Protective Solutions Ltd in Stonehouse, Glos. - the packaging company Des founded in 2006.
Allie said: "It covers the office ceiling and walls in the office. It prefers the side with natural light but even know it's sprouting on the darker side. We try to keep to off the desks so it doesn't get in the way but it hangs down and is joined onto the monitors.
