Powdery mildew
Grape ivy is prone to powdery mildew in stagnant, overly humid air. Improve airflow, avoid wetting foliage and remove affected leaves promptly.
Spider mites
Dry indoor air encourages spider mites, shown by fine webbing and speckled leaves. Raise humidity, rinse the plant and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
