I got this ivy a few weeks ago and it looked great, I’ve been watering it when plants tells me too. But then last week this one shoot started to wither and it looks a bit dry I don’t know if i need to cut the dead shoot off or leave it. I’ve never had a plant like this before and I’m worried it might be dying

Check her roots for any bad signs and cut it out.. maybe needs more drainage with hole or chunky mix should help

What signs should I look for on the roots?

You'll look for soft, or spongey roots, anything thats rotten, or dried out

I had a plant do this recently and thought I must've forgotten to water it, but I took a closer look and it was spider mites

I had an ivy and it got too hot from the summer sun and burned/died. Maybe bring it inside if it’s not already!
