Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hedera 'Irish Lace' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What are these brown spots from? #Hedera

Loosing leaves...a few of them feel dry and crunchy but most of the leaves are green and just falling off. I've not changed the light or temp or water schedule.... #Hedera

Help!!! What are these little black bugs??? They literally came out of nowhere. I purchased the plant maybe 10 days ago and have since repotted it. They were not there yesterday, and now I feel like there’s so many 😢. I have sprayed with a neem oil solution and wiped as much of the bugs off as possible. #pestinfestation #pests #bugs 🐛

My english ivy plant came in a pot with soil. They were great for a while but then became dry at one time maybe too much water or lack of water. So i decided to just have them in water. Now they look great. Leaves are firm and and seems happy. Used these empty machi-machi bottles and i like them.🥰 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #EnglishIvy #waterpropagation #plantsinwater

Calls to ban invasive plant making Australia's backyards 'ticking time bombs' Residents are expected to have 'botany degrees' to know what they should and should not plant, according to the Invasive Species Council. "English Ivy is growing over fences and walls and is choking and smothering trees and taking over ground covering bushland," Invasive Species Council acting CEO Jack Gough told Yahoo News Australia "It's disappointing to walk down to my local Bunnings and pick up a whole variety of English ivy and then only have to walk 100m down the road and see it taking over bushland. "I think most Australians would be horrified to know that the plants that they could go and pick up [from the local nursery] could actually be an environmental disaster." Much as I like English Ivy and have it as a great indoor plant, it’s good to appreciate it can be an invasive species, along with other plants for sale, if left to grow wildly outside. https:// https:// Retail giant Bunnings under fire for stocking invasive weeds that threaten Australian ecosystems https:// #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #GregGang #theamigos #Seymour

Are these spider mites?? And is it too late for my ivy?? I just noticed Maki wasn’t looking good and saw these little webs and I’m devastated. If these are spider mites is there anything I can do and are my other plants at risk?? She’s not always sitting near them I usually move her under the grow light at night near the others and then put her back in her spot in the morning. Please help!! 😭😭 #spidermites #EnglishIvy #pleasehelp
