Ivy 3

This one is healthy and great - is it just from GC, Fran or do you use a special fertiliser? Earl Grey work?

So sorry for the delay in answering, Kat, your comment didn't come up in the "pics that have been commented on" - pics that are added to plants don't seem to show comments. I just happened to flick thorugh my albym and saw a pic with just one comment, so checked and that was another pic I'd added to a new plant which had been commented on, so I thought I'd better check the rest of my pics, and so found your comment.

I got the Ivy from the community centre that I used to garden at; we had originally bought it from a garden centre but it had been in the garden there a couple of years; when the centre was going to close I salvaged (ie stole!) as many plants as I thought I could handle.

I'm using only ordinary bought potting compost, general purpose; now my composter has been going for a year, I might try adding some of that next spring, when the repotting season starts again.
