Ivy woes
Ivy woes

woes...I now have my own! I usually
have great luck with ivy...I grow a
large windowbox type planter full of
different varieties near my entryway,
where they're nice and cool...they grow
like mad, no pest or problems.
However, I recently bought a new ivy
addition, and despite new growth, it's
leaves are turning brown at the edges
and yellow inside those edges
(gradually) - does anyone have an idea
what could be causing this? I'd like
to put this one in the planter with my
other ivies, but hesitate to do so if
there's a problem (which there
obviously is!)

discoloring, then you have some kind of
root/soil/watering problem. If it is
just older leaves that are discoloring,
then it may be an acclimating problem.

Thanks!

Thanks, Will! I'll be popping that ivy
out of it's pot, then and check the
soil/roots. Some of the plants at that
particular store (a grocery) didn't
look incredibly healthy. Hadn't seen
you post in awhile...nice to 'see you'
again! Thanks again for your advice!
