Why is my ivy dying?? Help!!

Hi all, I have ivy that has been growing on my house with no problem however we have recently noticed that some parts of the ivy seems to be dying. Does anyone know what might be causing this??? I have attached some pictures.

 

Welcome to the Corner

Probably the drought, lots of thing suffering from it here, even the nettles died

 

on board @Steveb. One of my ivies seemingly died too this summer (it`s always the one you really wanted to keep) I shall leave my plant where it is for the time being to see if it regrows from the roots.
We can`t do much about the weather conditions - all part of the fun I suppose

 

I wish the ivy in my hedge would die - cant seem to kill the stuff !

 

But think of all those happy little wrens you`re helping andrews

 

Maybe the abundance of ivy is the reason we have the wrens then. I'm sure they wouldn't miss a small amount of the stuff.

 

Catch 24. Ivies, Hedera are often classed as being vines, climbers etc. Unlike vines such as Grapes, cucumbers, lathyrus, impoema etc. Ivie's tendrils, if you can call them such, don't intertwine, neither do they penetrate their host plant or whatever. They simply attach. Actually with all climbing plants, the tendrils act simply as, 'pull me ups' they afford no means of the plant feeding etc. In the case of some house plants, where a moss pole is provided, these plants do produce often thick fleshy tendril-like growths. These will seek out moisture and sustenance. And these tendrils will form roots for a new plant.
Back to the Ivy. Poor old Ivy, loved by some and hated by many. Ivy is basically resistant to pests. Ivy death can be due to, the main stem being broken. Herbicide, heat, drought or sun bleach.

If your Ivy is really sufferring. Cut out the dead parts,reason how this deathlike state is going and prune accordingly.

 

SteveB. Welcome

Ivy is a survivor. Agree the summer drought is the cause. Ivy is relatively surface rooting so will not have coped well.

However, I would be surprised if it has died. With some moisture over the next few weeks it will probably recover well
