    There is something magical looking about an ivy covered brick edifice. I mean, who doesn't love the look of Wrigley Field with that ivy covered wall?

      I think it's practically ethereal! If I had a brick wall that wasn't attached to my home I would 100% have some ivy growing on it.

      Wrigley Field 1994….We sat right under press box & Harry Carrey leaned out singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Great Memory. We now have a giant wall of cats claw vine to recreate a tiny Wrigley Field.👍🏼🪴

    Things I've learned about houseplant ivy: water sparingly, mist frequently, and immediately remove dead/dying foliage. The latter two are important for keeping spider mites away, which are the ivy's arch nemesis. Maybe even straight up add neem oil to the misting spray for maximum prevention.

    My gold-child Ivy was slowly dying. It was on my coffee table. (Because I was informed not to give it direct light) I started getting very sad, it was my first time having an English Ivy and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. One day I just decided maybe it needs to be repotted and I just so happen to have a 2 to 3 inch bigger pot around. So I repotted it with Jiffy organic soil, watered it and left it on my window sill. The very next day it started looking different, I could see not only did the variation come back but it looked lively again. It started growing. I had NEVER seen it do that. Now I just keep it at the window and I water it, when it needs to be watered (When the pot feels light or when it’s dried an inch on the surface) and it has been growing like crazy. Tiny baby Ivy’s everywhere. I wish I had figured it out sooner because I lost two stems because of my lack of knowledge. In the end I believe it was dying due to the lack of bright light. (Instructions on direct light is so tricky sometimes, It’s hard to know what exactly qualifies as “direct light”). I also believe that the nutrients in the new soil helped. Good luck.🍀

      spider mites are a common issue with keeping ivy. I have always just taken mine to the shower and blasted them off. I would do this weekly and when the plant dried I sprayed the foliage (top and bottom) with horticultural oil. :)

      Isn't it beautiful? Turned out to be cold hardy here also so I'm going to move mine into my perennial planters for some evergreen interest in the winter time. Idk where you live, but if you are in the USA you might be able to find this one with the houseplants at Lowes, home depot or any place that sells plants from Costa Farms. I got mine at Lowes and used to see them there regularly.

Distributed it around, had a few stems in water all over my house as well, change the soil every year but since last year I've noticed that the leaves are becoming smaller and smaller. Now I have a pot full of very tiny leaves. Is my plant dying.... I don't want it to die.... it is a part of my life....

    I've tried to keep these on three separate occasions, but every time I've had them die because of a sudden, acute spider mite infestation. Luckily it was JUST the ivy. It's one of the few plants I've sworn off because I can't take that risk. I know my house gets really dry in the Winter, and misting was futile... so I've just given it up. Pretty, but not worth the risk of another infestation that might spread.

    My ivy got way too much light and has gone very dry and crinkly. I moved it to a more shaded area and watered it but it's still very dry about a week later - is it dead? Really love my ivy so hope it recovers :(

      yep, total myth that ivy damages buildings. it will only get into the structure if there are already compromised spots like cracks, and even then it's more likely to help keep the structure together than it is to damage it further. the only real potential for damage is if you want it removed after it's decided to stay

    Can the ivy is planted in self watering system? It keeps the top of the soil moist at all times though.
    I transplanted a store bought in a self watering system and kept it in a room that's not very well lit.
    I notice that the leaves are wilting and drying :(. Not sure if watering is an issue or it's light. Or something else.

      they are hardy to zones 9 I believe. Hot and dry climates are not the best for them and some kind of winter chill is good for them also, but they are vigorous plants so I would imagine they could probably be grown warmer than zone 9 with proper lighting and watering.

Firstly, I think I don't water it enough, but as your video, this plant doesn't need too much water. Maybe the problem is temperature because I live in Viet Nam and now the weather is very hot. Can you give me an advice in my case? Thank you.

      If the soil is well draining and it won't be sitting in still water, it should be fine with more frequent watering, especially in a warm climate.

      My goal child Ivy was doing that. It was on my coffee table. (Because I was informed not to give it direct light) I started getting very sad, it was my first time having an English Ivy and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. One day I just decided maybe it needs to be repotted and I just so happen to have a 2 to 3 inch bigger pot around. So I repotted it with Jiffy organic soil, watered it and left it on my window sill. The very next day it started looking different, I could see not only did the variation come back but it looked lively again. It started growing. I had NEVER seen it do that. Now I just keep it at the window and I water it, when it needs to be watered (When the pot feels light or when it’s dried an inch on the surface) and it has been growing like crazy. Tiny baby Ivy’s everywhere. I wish I had figured it out sooner because I lost two stems because of my lack of knowledge. In the end I believe it was dying due to the lack of bright light. (Instructions on direct light is so tricky sometimes, It’s hard to know what exactly qualifies as “direct light”). I also believe that the nutrients in the new soil helped. Good luck.🍀
