# My ivy has been dying at the end of the vines and it hasn’t been…

_Posted by Maddie on 2024-07-19_

My ivy has been dying at the end of the vines and it hasn’t been producing any new leaves and it hasn’t grown much either. It is under a grow light for 12 hours a day and has not been repotted recently. It is on a good watering schedule for a while now. I’m not sure what to do? Should I give it a pole to climb up?

How intense is the light? Or how close do you have it positioned to the plant?

I’m not sure how intense the light is… but here’s a picture to show you how far it is from the light.

I was wondering if the light is too close/too intense and your new growth is getting burnt before it can get big enough? Ivy does best with bright indirect light and your set up looks more like bright direct light, in my opinion.

It’s actually quite pretty from here! Ivy is one of those plants that can take a long time to establish. Just be patient and feed with a balanced fertilizer. They attract pests so check on it often. I think a pole or trellis would be perfect. 💚
