Do I have a chance at saving her?!

It was over watered and rotted out in clearance …I trimmed and plucked what I could to try to keep her alive and a good home! Got a fresh self watering nursery pot.

I always kill my ivy but I want to keep trying!!

If get the soil off the roots and clean off any that r rotten. If they are all bad take cuttings and reroot.

If they keep dying, go for a better draining soul type. I use sphagnum moss. $5 on amazon for a 4 liter dried brick. I have all of my plants in it. Theyre not adult plants yet so i cant say for sure, but its light and airy and i love it. Just dont handle it if you have open cuts on your hands ok
