# Hi everyone! I’ve been propagating this little English ivy for a few…

Hi everyone! I’ve been propagating this little English ivy for a few weeks but everytime it grows a new leaf it starts to brown…? It’s not in direct sunlight so I don’t believe it’s sun spots but this is the second leaf to start browning and I cannot figure out why!! If anyone has any ideas I would to know 😄 thank you!!

All the leaves look overwatered. Let the soil dry out before watering again. Don’t follow a strict schedule. Water after verifying the soil is dry with a wooden skewer.
