English Ivy care

English Ivy leaf drop

Firm green vine tips can grow after old leaves fall. Brittle stems, a dry root ball, or dusty stippled leaves help narrow what is still wrong.

Restore moisture without leaving a wet pot

Rehydrate dry mix thoroughly and drain. If the pot is already wet, remove collected runoff and inspect roots if wilt and yellowing continue. Choose a bright position away from heating airflow.

Check sheltered undersides for mites, which often affect indoor ivy. Remove dead bare sections with clean scissors; keep healthy nodes, where new shoots can form after conditions improve.
