Needs lots of filtered light or indirect light and water that's about it...
What ivy are you referring to?
Use a mister and spray regularly , ivy likes a tropical -like environment (warm&moist) & our air conditioners work against that concept by removing moisture out of the air.
Thanks Jeana but I've been doing that for years but it just doesn't work for me. I buy them when they are small from different nurseries and before I know it they start to show signs and then they die. I have only success is the one that is in the bathroom window in the basement (split level) and the rooting in water. I never water the one in the basement as it gets plenty of moisture from the shower and it is thriving. All my other plants that are spread all over the house are absolutely beautiful except the ivy. I've tried different spots in the house but with no success. Such a mystery.
Here is a link for you. Good luck! I like ivy too! ☺
