# My Ivy used to be full and lush on top and it has lost all its leaves…

_Posted by Greenhouse Libby on 2023-06-05_

My Ivy used to be full and lush on top and it has lost all its leaves there. The arms seem ok but everything on top yellowed or browned or didn’t change colors and just fell off. How can I rehabilitate this poor baby? I would love for her to be bushy on top again!

Have you tried a glow light that you can clip onto the rim so the top is getting plenty of light?

I haven’t, but I have one so I guess it’s worth a shot! Thanks!

Mine did the same thing. So I moved it to a shadier spot, she seems to love it there and has filled back out. Maybe yours is just getting too much sun.

I would guess its not too much sun since your photos show a ceiling right overhead, and its inside yes? I vote that it needs a halo ring grow light right over crown. Plants often go bare on top cause of not enough light there.
