English Ivy over watered,near death.Help !?
Question:my Ivy was up on a shelf where I couldnt exactly feel the dirt. and in a more shady area than sunny. I guess I watered her too much, the clue was water running down my wall. {sigh}
I got her for Easter :(
Well then I put her out on the sun porch hoping she would dry out and now she looks even worse. the leaves are brown but not crispy..dead is dead. I see SOME green ones what can I do? replant her? throw her away? prune her down to the bottom? My husband looked at me like I was a murderer,and she cost him a fortune.
what can I do to save her? Her name is
RoseAnn RosAnna Danna.
...uhhh. the 3rd :(
she used to be a BIG girl. now she might be dead. who can help?
Answers:
if you see some green leaves the plant is not dead. Provided those are new leaves.
When you water a plant too much it rots...that's why the leaves are not crispy. And.. there's nothing you can do about rotten plant.
First of all, make sure the soil is not wet, otherwise what hasn't rotten yet, will. If it is, move it to dry soil. In the process you can get rid of the rotten roots and find out how the 'good' ones, if there are any, are doing.
Nature is pretty smart. If the plant is not dead and you take proper care of it, it will survive.
Never, ever, over water a plant. It's better to keep them drier than normal than over watered. A plant lacking humidity will wake up when you water it -unless it's completely dead, of course-. But, as I said before, there's nothing you can do about a rotten plant.
Good luck!
P.S: Don't put it in the direct sun.
