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 health and the environment.
So we need plants that don't get sick very often and aren't regularly eaten by bugs!
Ivy is one of them. In the open ground and in the open air, it is almost never diseased or attacked.
In pots and indoors, just be careful not to over-water.
Long live the ivy that stands up to everything!
Ivy in literature
“The branches of the ivy framed the window, like a painting offered by nature.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
