I’ve had this turtle vine for a month maybe two. I water her every 4 or so days and use Planta to inform me when to as well. I found it looking like this I believe it’s flourished with new growth but I’m wondering will this dead look ever go away? I’m not sure what to do with it

Planta’s watering schedule is not accurate for every environment. You should use it as a notification to check for dryness and not as a strict rule to water.

The plant looks overwatered. Watering every 4 days is too often for that size plant and pot. Water only when the soil dries. The brown areas won’t recover. They should be removed. Salvage the healthy vines to propagate. 🍀🪴

The dead look could be because the soil is getting too dry between waterings. Start by changing the soil, and water a little less maybe?

The dead will not come back. I would try and remove all the dead, dried pieces.
