  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Why is my variegated ivy plant dying?

Waaaaaaaaaa.
I have problems with spider mites on ivy.

You have to either get your plants from someplace that takes extraordinary care to make sure that they aren't exposed to pests ... or get a spray that will kill the mites.

If you know anyone that works at a nursery, ... they could tell you what you can use to spray.

Thanks. I didn't think about mites. Do mites cause a discoloration?

Mites suck the juices out of the plants, so green leaves turn brown, crumple, and will ultimately fall off. Untreated mites will eventually completely kill the plant.

Unfortunately, mites are a common issue with house-plants, and will spread if not stopped.

Thanks for the info. Can mites be seen?

Because they're so picky! I've tried numerous times to keep at least one of those ivy plants alive and they just won't have it! So fine, I give up! lol :p
