Ivy wall screen

[prettyprinceofpartiez]

I've had an ivy wall screen (about 1.2 x 2m) for privacy for about a year. Haven't watered it all winter as our outdoor tap burst and no fertiliser and as a result it's suddenly turned brown, crispy and dry in the last two weeks!

I've stripped all of the old dead leaves back, the vines are green underneath when I scrape them with my nail. What can I do to get the beautiful leaves back quickly? I'm going to resoil and add general plant feed...

What are they planted in?

Nitrogen heavy feed for foliage. Don't overwater the soil (ivy prefers slightly dry) but mist the stalks and leaves as they emerge as ivy prefers humidity in the air.

Other than that, wait - ivy is almost unstoppable so will come back

Thank you, it's in its trough planter and currently showing no green 😢 I've moved it out of the sun and added some general fertiliser. Any idea how long I should give it to make a comeback before cutting my losses? At this point I can't see it ever looking like it did!
