- The Ivy Plant! This evergreen is such a Misunderstood plant. Ivy is an important source of food & shelter for wildlife & removes toxins from the air. Ivy also has medicinal properties all centering around helping respiratory conditions. Ivy can be found in herbal remedies & in pharmaceutical medicines too. Ivy is best used to treat things like coughs, asthma & bronchitis.
Nasa studied ivy in its clean air project proving that ivy removes toxins from the air & can reduce mold/pollution in a home.
Ivy can even be used as a natural laundry detergent making this plant just like all plants a special part of this world 🌍

Yes, thank you. Learning a lot from this public education. Also, found a recent study about this ivy helping clear pathogens on surfaces, and maybe by smelling it while doing that, it helps the lungs a bit, too. It was in an NIH article.
It is quite evasive and ….. 1:42 in to this I have been educated enough to change my comment. I love this channel. It is so educational. 🥰👍🏴
70% mold reduction is massive. I’ll give it a go. Thank you.
😁
Ivy is absolutely gorgeous, I've always been so in love with houses that have vines of green climbing around them because they look so foresty and almost fairytale-like. It's a gorgeous green marvel.
Agreed!
Wonderful information on old ivy. It is good to hear such positive information regarding ivy. I have visited our first President, George Washington's homestead in Virginia many, many times. Each time we arrive at his home, the energies there are fantastic between walking through Washington's home, viewing buildings on the land each with a purpose, as well as walking the paths of the woods covered with English Ivy on the land and up the old trees. After spending the day, upon leaving, I bought 6 young, rooted plants in little pots and took them home and replanted along our brick wall/front of our house and continued buying the newly rooted ivy plants in pots each year, took home and planted. Now 1/2 of an acre and a half of land is covered in ivy, including up my brickwall, trees, and gazebo. I do not live in a development of any kind, but on land that have been with the family name. My husband is third generation of living on land that is used for farming, with 50 acres of naturally wooded land touched by no one buy Mother Nature and Her wild creatures where they live. People have told me ivy is damaging to houses and trees. Nonsense! It's been 45 years since my ivy took off growing and spreading. All my trees are still standing and my bricks look the same. I love ivy and at times I do a little clipping to encourage the new growth to which later the leaves are huge and green. I do hope many visit your website to learn the truth of ivy. Thank you.
As the brilliant voiceover Tony Baker says “ I NEVER KNEW “😂
I thought Ivy was BAD, but really it’s GOOD. I truly never knew. Thank you as ALWAYS Dane for education us all with fact filled knowledge 👍
Ooo ivy
I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL DAY!!. I LOVE YOUR ENERGY PLEASE KNOW HOW AMAZING YOU TRULY ARE♥️
I have always found ivy to be absolutely stunning . Now I have learned so much more about this beauty . Thank you . I bought a plant a few months ago and came to UA-cam to be sure I’m taking the best care of it. Wow , I had no idea how wonderful this little vine can be.
I absolutely love ivy. My great grandmother's name was Ivy Wood. It's always had a special place in my heart.
That is a fantastic name! Ivy Wood is a rare and beautiful wood too 💚
Being a gardener, I'm sometimes asked to cut the ivy back from garages, roofs, walls, etc. Because if there is any small gap, it grows inside the building, causing problems. It can be very difficult to get off walls, especially if it's been growing for years. Towards the end of the season, the flowers get covered in wasps and even flies. They seem to love it. The dust it seems to produce when pulling it down is irritating for eyes, skin, etc. I don't know if the dust has just collected from the environment onto it or whether it's from the ivy itself. But it's fascinating to hear its good for improving air quality and breathing. I'm sure I read somewhere that it helps kidneys, but don't quote me on that.
I’ve been researching ivy growing on outdoor walls of homes & if your home is structurally sound it is actually fine! To do so🥰
The research says it is great for keeping homes cool & it’s excellent for wildlife, bees etc 🥰🫶
I have it growing up the back of my home 🏡 & I love it as I’ve watched it grow from a tiny stem 🌱 & it now covers the back of my home 🏡 & it
l👀ks beautiful, I think🥰
It’s my home & I ch👀se to keep it & maintain it like you! 🫶
MUCH prettier than boring brick 🧱
Mother Nature 🌱
l👀ks MUCH prettier & natural 👌growing up a home I think 🫶
💚
What's the harm ln letting ivy be? Thanks for this informational video 😃👍🤟✌️🌏.
Absolutely loving your nature documentaries!! You deserve to have your own tv show
Great to hear your enjoying them it's always great to hear the positivty 😁
This is our little TV show I guss 🤣💚
I grow squash, pumpkins, and melons on top of a sunny Ivy bed. It keeps the fruits out of the mud.
Great ivy use 😁
I think it's beautiful on trees, so let it along, 🎉😊
💚✨
Hello my friend, very interesting information. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
❤
I did know about ivy laundry soap. I can't wait to make some! You can also make laundry soap from horse chestnuts! Glad to know about ivy's medicinal use. I did not know. Great video! Thank you! I subscribed because all your vids are great and to the point!👏💗
I think Ivy Loves me very much, I'm healing from Covid and my Ivy plant is growing. I Love my English Ivy.
Of course RESPECT.
i m amazed that ivy is not a horrible invasive plant thank you
Your welcome 😁
If it wasn't for your video I would still hate ivy, it triggers my hayfever if ever I'm moving it, but now I'm gonna appreciate it and work with it and find it a space, thankyou for this🤘👍👌
Absolutely fascinating! I love ivy - one of my favourite childhood books was called Ivy cottage 🌿 what a wonderful & informative video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching 😁
Thanks mate. I'm doing a uni project on the value of ivy.
Enjoyed the video and I agree that there is a lot of plus points to ivy - not least its value to birds and insects. However, in my experience, there is no doubt that ivy can and does have a detrimental impact on trees. As pointed out in the video, it can grow to a great height - so if it envelopes a tree (which it will) and covers the canopy and all the branches in its quest for precious sunlight, it stands to reason that it is thereby depriving the host tree of that same sunlight. We have a century-old apple orchard near us where ivy has been allowed to grow uncontrollably over the trees and without doubt it is slowly killing them. And ivy vines have wrapped themselves like boa constrictors around young hedge trees nearby and completely overwhelmed them and already killed some of them. There is a place for ivy but it does need controlling and careful monitoring.
🍃I’m so happy ivy is important, it’s one of my favourite plants🍃
😁
nice..own source😉
Thank you for this video! I choose to cherish it! Now I know why sometimes I have 30 Robin's in my yard at a time, lol
Lots of sheep love it and it was used for nutritious feed during the winter in the Uk. I believe it’s also a “wormer”:too.
Wowwww...I love Ivy even more now! 💕
💚🌿😁
I have tons in my garden and love it, so do all the bugs and birds! 🌀
🐛💚🍃
Very interesting about the Oxford study on its contribution to homes. The association that looks after my flat recently cut away all of our ivy growing over our windows. It was such a shame, the ivy used to dance in the shadows on the walls. I was livid!
I just happened to be writing about this in our book 😁💚
@@homeiswhereourheartis a book! wow, i'll be one of the first to buy it for sure! we've been walking the south west coastal path and your videos are a big help for our lunch!
Great to hear it! 😁
2nd time this year, I looked up a plant ("using ivy" this time) & Google brought up a video of yours!! ❤😊
You're an inspiration.
Thanks you 😁🌿
Totally agree & only discovered this channel yesterday, xx
Thanks for sharing❤️
Never knew so much about ivy! Very interesting.
I learnt that Ivy is a tree recently and have actually got horizontal branches that reach out like a canopy of a tree and pigeons love the berries and also explains presence of Robin which was new to me until now. Thank you for sharing this beautiful information with all.
Excellent thank you for sharing I have a garden wall covered and its in the bungalow will certainly now encourage more
Hi. I love ivy. I was chopping some back and saying that it kills trees to it and it(perspectively) told me that it didn't kill trees that it only prunes them♥️😁♥️
I never knew Ivy was so cool. Thanks for sharing. 🥂
Cheers ✌️
Awesome, Thank you :D
I love ivy, its pretty on house and incredibly helpful
We love it too 💚
I’m glad I’m not the only one I think ivy is very good for the Earth
Great video, very informative! Its lovely to see your chanel growing too. 🌿🥰
Hi Danielle Happy New year 😁
Yes our channel is growing its very exciting we love making our videos 💚🌿
Great herb
I was always told ivy blocks the trees bark from light and breathing and that’s why the trees rot and die 🤷🏼♀️ in our area the council cut it away from the trees for this reason 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe it depends on the particular environment and type of ivy. I notice in the video their Ivy is not anywhere near as dense as in our woods in western Washington state, USA. I found out that the Ivy here, which does suffocate trees to death, is actually Irish Ivy. It looks almost identical, but has wider leaves and a different DNA.
Cool facts of the Ivy sometime people can confused them with the poison Ivy, we don’t have one at our home but where you lived have a lot of them.
It's native here in the UK 😁
Thank you for this video
| MADE IT | Thank you for teaching me...I have the Ivy and never knew; I was researching it to see if I could eat it or use for medicine.
Worth keeping the IVY.
Accordingly to your inflammation I think we should shewed more respect to this plant it is amazing.
Love the stuff!
I've always cherished the aesthetic value of ivy. I find it's dark green color very comforting. Also, I'm a songwriter and one of my favorite Kate Bush songs is called Under the Ivy.
Thank you for the information
wow learning about its beneficial effect on a mouldy room has totally inspired me to get an ivy plant in my caravan ! thanks for the loving info !
The great thing is as well as reducing mould it takes home pollution away too. Things like our sofas and furniture actually create what's called home pollution all the industrial glue toxins float around our homes. Ivy reduces it 🙂
Very Nice👍
Cheers 🙂
Superb video. Good to know the ivy is feeding our dear Robin. I love ivy. I've made my own dishwash liquid and added two other ingredients. And I wash our clothes, they smell natural and feel soft. Please make a Japanese Knotweed video. I have lots of info about this amazing herbal plants on my Blog and UA-cam.
I put JK in my smoothie daily. No longer need my Inhaler. 😊
Thank you so much for spreading the love. I made some Ivy soap.
Very nice, thanks for sharing. I loved the video about making the soap, would be great to know how to make it into a medicine or balm
Thanks for sharing, great info as always

Hi Bruce great name 😁
We can't make a video on ivy because it's a risky one but you'll find it online 😁
Love n respect❤
Its ,so pretty I think.
👍
I tried the laundry detergent and yes it works. I love it!
Do you have a recipe for making washing up liquid using nature's garden please. I am hooked on foraging now and find great joy and contentment in foraging from the ground to the end product. I bought both your books and love the simple details and layout of them both. One compliments the other really well and are very easy to understand. I have recommended them to lots of people now so hope it has helped you. I have no idea why I haven't done this for years before now as I love to create anything that doesn't cost money. Much gratitude.
Ivy is wonderful💝
Only been to your channel for about 20 seconds and I'm subscribed. Loved the intro music, awesome accent, and positive vibes!
Cheers ! Check out videos as they go on see how we've evolved ! ✌️😁
I love ivy such a cool plant and bees really do love it
They do indeed !
I love Ivy, where we used to live we had a lovely ivy hedge and one winter had Redwings feasting on the berries n a snowy day. Haven't seen them before or since.
The great food source the ivy brings 🙂
Hail Hedera!
Great video dude! I have ivy growing up the side of my house and I love it. Especially to bring some inside for Christmas time
It's a great plant 🙂
Hubby and I love ivy we have loads of it growing in the garden, it loves growing next to the honeysuckle and looks fabulous.
It's great 😁
Ivy is a God!
That was very enlightening. Thank you
😁
Woww! I have been keeping the ivy under our pine tree under harsh control, as I think it's beautiful but didn't want it to get out of hand. I did get a blister working with my plants there last week, but it could have been a bite. Time to let it grow a bit, make some soap (with gloves), and do a little skin test with the solution to make sure I'm not allergic. I really hope I'm not! 😁
I love English Ivy. Recently found some and about to propogate. Thank you for the video.❤❤
I love ivy
It's awesome 😁
Love and respect for the plant
Fascinating information. My G-grandmon's home had ivy which I always wondered about - thought it was invasive. But if she allowed it to grow, wondering if they didn't know the "magic" of. Thank you.
I admire you for this video.
I thought ivy was a polution, a parasite.
I show your video and you touched me heart.
I will put an ivy pot in my room.
I have mold and o hope that it will help.
I knew that many sirups was from ivy , but this is an amazing plan
Well I love your enthusiasm about ivy.
It grows up my 7ft rose tree & I’ve always tire it down & then it grows back 😐😐😐 I like the idea of 70% reduction of mould in the home.
I’m still on the fence about it tho 😂
Woww!!! Have to try it for thr mold.
you are just absolutely lovely
Thsnk you 🙂
Fascinating 🧐 thank you
Your welcome 😁
What do you think about Ivy on a stucco 2 story home??? If I maintain it, will roots damage my home? By that I mean cause house leaks etc…
I have the plant, I want in on my house. I’ve done a lot of research…
I love love this plant.😍
I love ivy. I’ve always grown it but only recently learned of its medicinal and beneficial properties. I’ve planted heaps of it to grow over and around my chicken house and one of my gardens so I can harvest it and grow it again and make medicine and soap
That was soooooooo interesting - thank you. I live in a very old house, which does get black mould, even had fungi coming through the floorboards! Well, now I know what to do! I've already started making ivy soap, and I love it, doesn't always lather as much, maybe I need to pick more 'green' leaves? But I will definitely get some ivy and hang it in the house to clear 78% of the mould!
Thanks for this video. I had heard of lots of bad things about this plant. I found it hard to believe because we had ivy growing on a wall and it was removed. I could see that the wall looked in great condition where there was ivy and it was clean and mould free.
It can also be used as laundry soap rather than wasting it ✌️😁
How fascinating. Thank you!
thank you so much . i am in love with this info. i am in love with ivy and have been for a long time. thank you so much.
I love this plant
Wow fascinating video
Great video. Happy Wednesday.
