June 9, 2011Q.Grape Ivy Leaf Problems
Many of the leaves on my grape ivy are turning papery and dropping. It is happening to leaves of any age and size. The plant continues to provide new growth and appears in no serious danger, but the appearance is not good.

Certified ExpertA.Are there any spots on the leaves beforehand? It sounds like fungal leaf spot. Trim away the infected leaves and make sure the leaves stay dry. Normally, this issue will clear up on its own if you do this, but you should still keep it away from other plants though as it can spread.

Certified ExpertA.The only way to permanantly get rid of ivy is to rip it out. If it's growing into your shrubs, you can either rip it out or cut the stems close to the ground so it will die up in the shrub.

July 11, 2011Q.Black Tips on My Ivy
About 2 days ago I repotted an ivy I received over a year ago. I have since noticed the tips are turning black and look burnt. This plant has been on my patio all summer in the Oklahoma heat. Is my plant getting too hot? I make sure it is watered regularly.

Certified ExpertA.Transplanting is a stressful time for a plant, and it makes it hard for it to deal with conditions it normally has no problem withstanding. It sounds like it may have a touch of transplant shock. I would move it somewhere shady for a few days and increase the water a bit. This article will also help:

Certified ExpertA.The secret to successful outdoor planting of variegated ivy is to plant it in lightly shaded areas. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer. All ivies, whether green o rvariegated, should have regular feedings. They are used for groundcovers, garden specimens, hanging baskets, mixed containers, topiary and more.
