# Hi friends! I have a little ivy plant that has been declining ever…

_Posted by Kira on 2024-05-08_

Hi friends! I have a little ivy plant that has been declining ever since I got it. I can’t figure out exactly what the problem is but the leaves have been getting dry and dead no matter what I do differently. Any advice is appreciated!

I’ve killed one of these before. I think it would like a very chunky well draining mix and to be watered more frequently. I thiiiiink they like to take water in through the leaves in addition to roots, so spraying it in the shower could be a good move (this is how I water my ivy)

Thank you! I’ll try that!
