        All about the health of my ivy<\/span><\/h3>

        Ivy is rarely attacked by parasites. What's more, in the event of infestation, it is generally hardy enough to avoid irreversible damage. Potential pests include the ivy aphid.<\/p>

        Ivy aphid (Aphis hederae)<\/span><\/h2>

        This species of aphid colonises young ivy leaves. The aphid deposits honeydew on the leaves, which is highly prized by ants and gives rise to a black fungus known as fumaginia. Not only is this mottling unsightly, but it also has a detrimental effect on the plant's development by obstructing its stomata.<\/p>

        In the event of infestation, spray with black soap, nettle macerate, tobacco infusion or garlic. Another solution is to buy ladybird or hoverfly larvae, which will clean up quickly.<\/p>

        Regular monitoring enables attacks to be detected as early as possible, making treatment much more effective.<\/p>
