Why is ivy unlucky?

Answer 1

Ivy is sometimes considered to have gloomy associations with graveyards and old ruins; some people think it unlucky to have it indoors at any time other than Christmas as it would bring ill tidings and misfortunate, presumably upon the homes owners. Its leaves were used in a divination on 'Twelfth Night' or Halloween. Supposedly if they were left overnight in water, and if next morning black spots or coffin-shaped markings had appeared, someone in the household would die that year.

Answer 2

According to superstition, ivy is considered unlucky because it was believed to bring bad luck into a home. This belief stems from the fact that ivy can take over and kill other plants in a garden, symbolizing the potential for destruction in a household.
