        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 mealybug.<\/p>

        The carapace scale (Coccus hesperidum)<\/span><\/h2>

        This is a very flat, yellow to light brown scale insect. It produces abundant honeydew, which is sought after by ants. This honeydew is quickly invaded by a black fungus called fumaginia. This impairs the ornamental appearance of the ivy and greatly reduces its vigour and growth.\u00a0<\/p>

        In the event of an infestation, one of the most effective techniques for combating these mealybugs is to clean them manually with a cloth soaked in black soap or 70\u00b0 alcohol, or with a soft toothbrush. You can also use neem oil sprays or macerations of garlic and chilli pepper as a natural insecticide.<\/p>

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