π π¨ IVY IN CRITICAL CONDITION π¨ π
My Ivy Gold Child was 4β from a south window behind another plant to deflect some direct sunlight.
Slowly it got sunburned and many of the leaves fell off. I soaked it, trimmed off the dead leaves, and put it on my shelf about 11β from the window. It looks like itβs getting worse! #sadbeforeandafter
Leaves are crispy and brown!

Yikes! π³ Iβm so sorry!! I would just give it a good bottom water to really saturate those roots and give it normal care from here on out. Prune the brown, crispy leaves unfortunately they wonβt recover and you may lose them all. Just give it some good TLC; donβt do anything too drastic and with time it MAY come back, but thatβs a strong maybe. It may benefit from some extra humidity as well. This is just what I would do personally if I were in your position. I really hope you can get your ivy back to good health soon!
@ABCD looks underwatered. But Ivy isnβt my speciality.
@Blau_Ozean it was underwatered but how do I fix it?
@ABCD cut back the dried up foliage, water & fertilize. Cutting it back should get it to kick new growth out.
@Blau_Ozean all the leaves are dried up⦠There will be no leaves left
@ABCD how is the stem after the last dead leaf & closest to the soil? If itβs still healthy, it should be fine. Iβve cut a fiddle & pothos back to nothing & they grew back because there was healthy nodes to provide new growth. Plants are resilient when given the right conditions to come back.
@Blau_Ozean I see one healthy stem thatβs on the soil
My ivy vine grows right on the window sill on a SW facing window. I think you might have missed a key part of their care which is keeping the leaves hydrated. Apparently they donβt like to be dry. I usually do a quick rinse under the faucet while Iβm watering the soil. Try that and see if it helps
@sarahsalith know how to help it come back (if itβs not dead)
@sarahsalith itβs dead?
But @RJG is hopeful! So don't listen to me- I'm wrong A LOT!
Ivy is on my #NeverAgain list.

@sarahsalith Iβm going to try
Ok @Blau_Ozean @fabiana @babyfiretiger13 @RJG and @sarahsalith recovery period has begun. β€οΈβπ©Ή (see two healthy stems!)
@ABCD keep us updated & sending lots of love!
@Blau_Ozean will do!
@ABCD Iβm hopeful too! Iβm totally a hippie at heart, free spirit π¦ and if itβs meant to be, it will be! If not, itβs the devil π
@TJphilobsessed you and me, both!! β οΈ
