Caucasian ivy, Hedera colchica<\/em> \u2018Dentata Sulphur Heart\u2019<\/strong>, \u2018Dentata\u2019 has large, cordate leaves that are barely three-lobed. The margins are finely toothed and curl more than in 'Dentata'. The variegation in the centre of the leaf is irregular and gives an infinite number of variations, with shades ranging from gold to grey-green.<\/p>

It is a good ground cover or climber with medium to rapid growth.<\/p>

It can reach adulthood even when used as a simple ground cover.<\/p>

This cultivar was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Garden Award of Merit in 1993.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        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. One potential pest is the ivy mite.<\/p>

        Ivy mite (Bryobia kissophila)<\/span><\/h2>

        This mite perforates the cuticle of the leaves, then sucks out the contents of the cells. The result is tiny silvery spots that spread until the leaf turns yellow and then completely brown. This parasite measures 0.7 mm. It never weaves a web.<\/p>

        It occurs mainly in hot, dry conditions. As a preventive measure, it is advisable to maintain a moist, well-ventilated environment. In the event of infestation, drench both sides of the leaves thoroughly and repeat for several days. Treatment with an acaricide soap or Neem oil may be necessary if the infestation persists.<\/p>

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