Does ivy grow back every year?

Cut back any brown leaves or dying part of the plant with a pair of pruners to help stimulate new green growth. If the leaves are entirely brown then the individual leaves are unlikely to revive, however cutting back should promote new healthy growth so that your Ivy can recover.
