Boston Ivy - sick?

Carole Westgaard

11 years ago

I've had these growing on the bricks of the house for almost 23 years with no problem (other than I'm sorry I planted it in the first place) but now one of the six plants has brown spots all over the leaves. Not wilting - just ugly. What could it be?

Most likely it has spider mites - spray it with warm water and mild dish soap - 1 teaspoon of dish soap to a quart of water.
