Default Speaking of Ivies...

one of the stems has budded. My question is, just what kind of Ivy is this
or better yet is it even an Ivy? Also, can I grow it indoors under the 150W
incandescent bulb without some special treatment?

This time you have Hedera helix, English ivy. You can probably grow it indoors,
but it will want a little more light than the pothos, yet it wants to be
cooler. It will be better off on a cool windowsill. Also, especially since it
came from outdoors, English ivy is susceptible to spider mites and many other
ills. Keep a close watch on it.
