English Ivy Pink Leaves: Too Much Sun or Water Quality

Pinkish tinge on Hedera ivy leaves usually means too much direct sun. Move back from window or filter light. Hard/alkaline water can cause nutrient deficiency; switch to filtered/distilled/rainwater. Discolored leaves won’t revert; prune them. New growth will normalize.
