i love ivy, but after the summer ,i brought in house, they seem to be dieing, how much water do they need?

Answer 1

The ivy may be root bound.You may need to transplant them to a larger pot and refresh the soil.They need a moderate amount (approx. 6 oz. for a 8" pot) of water each 3 days.Make sure not to over-water.

Answer 2

I don't know where you are. Ivy is normally a very hardy plant that doesn't need much water. I'm in Tx., and mother used to grow that stuff out the kazoo. We used about an 8 oz.--to 1/2 of an 8 oz. glass of water when it needed it. Each climate is different and how you keep your temp. in your house is a factor. Keep the vine away from heat as much as possible--no vents. Check with a nursery regarding other tips.

Answer 3

It's possible that your plants are a little shocked from coming into a warm house from outdoors. I've found the main thing with ivy is not to let their roots sit in water, that will kill them faster than anything. They also don't like to be right near a heat source, which will dry out their leaves. I put mine in the kitchen sink once a week and give them a bath with the sprayer and lukewarm water, and then let their inner pots drain completely before putting them back into their outer pots.

Answer 4

Lift the pot. Light = dry, water. Heavy = wet, don't water
