How do I get her to grow up? #SwedishIvy My plant is doing great and really growing. Should I put him somewhere that she will hang down, or can I put a trellis for her to grow upward. Any suggestions?

What should I do? So… he nearly died of dehydration and now is reviving. I also have given him plant food. So any tips? Also the plant analyzer isn’t right in what type of plant it is and I have no idea.

My Swedish Ivy’s limp and the leaves are thinning out. What do I do? I got my swedish ivy a week ago. I only watered it once and kept it by the window with plenty of sunlight, but now it’s flopped over, the leaves are drooping and they feel thin. I don’t think I’m overwatering it, but I have no idea what’s wrong. Does anyone know what’s happening? How can I get my plant back in good health? #SwedishIvy #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #help

Can I save my young SWEDISH IVY? I was given some Swedish Ivy in hopes of saving it. The stem is brown and broken along with white stuff!?! Can I still propagate the top?? What would be the best way, water or soil? I am worried because it is so young that it will not sprout roots. :(. PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY PLANT BABY!! #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #NewPlantMom #HappyPlants #PlantAddict
