I have an ivy but don’t know what type , as you see I’m very bad at taking care of stuff. What’s wrong with it and how can I help?

It might be English Ivy and it looks very underwatered. They are very hard to take care of so maybe this plants best bet is to cut off all the dried up leaves.

Looks like a bird’s nest fern. Not sure, since it is dehydrated.
