If the leaves of the ivy turn brown, various reasons can be responsible. Brown leaves are caused by care errors, incorrect locations, diseases or pests.
Why is my ivy getting brown leaves?
Ivy gets brown leaves due to drought, incorrect locations, diseases (ivy fungus, focal spot disease) or pests (spider mites, scale insects). Regular watering, sufficient humidity and the right choice of location can counteract this.
The ivy gets brown leaves
If the ivy turns brown, it is often due to excessive dryness. Ivy cannot tolerate it when the soil dries out and turns brown. Always water when the soil surface has dried out. Ivy in the garden also needs to be watered in winter.
In addition, brown leaves can be caused by diseases such as ivy fungus or blotch disease. Especially in the room, pests such as spider mites and scale insects cause the ivy to turn brown.
Keep a close eye on the ivy so that you can take immediate action in the event of disease or pest infestation.
Tip
When using ivy as a houseplant, ensure there is sufficient humidity. Do not place the plant next to heat sources, especially in winter. Occasionally spray the ivy with a little water.
