Heyyo plant people š Iāve gotten conflicting information online about reviving dead ivy plants. My partner had/has an English Ivy start and it got skipped during a past watering cycle, itās currently looking extremely dead and crispy. Is there any hope that it would come back from the root system?
Oh no, your English ivy doesnāt look happy at all! But youāre not alone. They are not easy to keep as houseplants. Especially not indoors. They actually prefer to be grown outdoors where theyāll get higher humidity, wind and temperature changes during the day. In your case I would recommend that you start with checking if the stems are still alive, or if they have shrivelled up. If they are alive you can remove the plants from the soil, or take cuttings and put them in water instead of soil. That will help them to get a more even amount of water and humidity. When they have grown a healthy root system you can transfer them to soil and then consider to grow your ivyās outdoors instead. āŗļø

Just make sure youāre taking precautions to keep it from spreading. English Ivy can be threatening to ecosystems and other plants.

I agree with checking the root system to see if itās viable. However, I have been growing my Ivy indoors for over a year now, it hangs in a window with lots of morning light and itās doing great.
