help!!!!!! english ivy dying !!!! again!!!!
Comments (6)Ivy is really not a very good houseplant. It does not like heated indoor winter air, which always seems to lead to spider mites. I have found Algerian ivy is a little easier to work with (it has red stems and is rather pricey). Plan to spray regularly with a horticultural oil to keep the mites at bay. Life will be a lot easier if you try a pothos instead. Watch out for cold damage when you buy any plants in the winter. Taking a plant out of a nice warm greenhouse into a frigid parking lot and car can cause damage and even death fairly quickly....See MoreGood company to remove English ivy/ poison ivy/ kudzu mess?
Comments (7)Have you found anyone yet? Established Kudzu requires removal of the large Tubers it produces to keep it from returning. This sometimes requires a bit of digging and with many underground utilities a dig permit and utilities location may be required, if it's in the front of your home. This permit is provided free by the utilities companies engineering group upon telephone request. Without it, any damage to utilities(even your own cable tv line if you're with Comcast) could cost you quite a bit of money. I am always in the Buckhead area and would be happy to look at it for you. I have lots of guys that work for me that look for weekend work like this....See MoreWhat the heck kills English Ivy?
Comments (2)alys -- sorry no one was able to help -- sometimes the forums aren't too active or a question is such a puzzler that no one can help. Please don't let that stop you from posting again -- I've gotten lots of great information from these forums. You might try posting on the disease forum to see if anyone there knows. The only other suggestion I have is to take a sample of the plant to your local master gardening clinic. Dig up a piece, roots and stems and leaves, bag it in a ziploc bag, and take it to the clinic. Someone there will have a much better chance of helping you figure this out; they're trained to know all the right questions to ask, and there may be something specific going on in your area that they know about that forum people don't. Give it a try. The land grant college or university in your state should have a plant diagnosis lab, too, so sending a sample to them would be another possibility, although not as convenient. Good luck!...See MoreHelp! English Ivy dying in the middle
