I got this ivy a few weeks ago and it was doing great for a while, but got overwatered and I think it had root rot. I repotted it, changed out the soil, and trimmed off the roots that looked the worst. It’s been about a week since then and it still looks crispy and I’m not sure what to do about it, or if I did something wrong. Thank you :)
