About Atlantic Ivy
Plants in the Hedera genus are commonly known as Ivy, and are native to Eurasia and northern Africa although they've been introduced and are now common in the Americas and Australia. They're excellent climbers and have been known to grow on buildings and trees to over 100ft/30m tall! 🪜 You'll often see wreathes of ivy in Ancient Roman works of art, as they were believed to prevent intoxication. 🍷

How to fertilize Atlantic Ivy

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 Atlantic Ivy after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Ivy loosing leaves #Hedera My ivy’s leaves got super dry and crumpled off but only on the bottom of the stems? Not sure what is wrong with it. I initially thought it was a lack of sunlight as I had it in an odd spot, so I moved it to in front of a window, but no change.

Am I overwatering? I am currently treating for what I think is spider mite. There are also black spots and crispy leaves. I’m not sure it’s if it’s all from spider mites or from overwatering. It came with a bottom watering wick so I’ve been keeping water in the bottom. Any recommendations to bring it back to life? Giving it a good haircut now and I’ll show what I’m treating with. #Hedera #EnglishIvy
