Hi everyone,

I recently looked after a young ivy plant for a friend. Over the course of a fortnight or so, this ivy quickly went from full foliage to practically bare, with severe leaf drop. I tried to isolate this plant as soon as I noticed and have now discarded it, but my own more established ivy is now showing similar signs.

The symptoms are that healthy leaves begin to lose colour from the outside edges in, and then drop off. I have removed most of the leaves which show these symptoms in case that helps slow the spread for now, but attach below an example of a leaf half way through discolouration (apologies for quality). I have inspected closely, and there are no signs of any pests.

Can it be rescued?
