A page from my little ivy encyclopedia
A new look at ivy ...
Ivy is not very susceptible to disease and pests?
Yes !
Chemical plant protection products are now banned, and that’s a good thing for both health and the environment.
So we need plants that don’t get sick very often, and that aren’t regularly eaten by bugs!
Ivy is one of these. Outdoors and in the open, it almost never gets sick or is attacked.
In pots and indoors, just be careful not to over-water.
Long live the ivy that stands up to anything!
Ivy in literature
“The branches of the ivy frame this window, like a painting offered by nature.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
