Hii! my ivy isn’t doing too well at the moment and i’m not sure as to why. i normally have her in an area with moderate sunlight, but not too much. i also bottom water her once a week, which is what’s recommended.  
i’m not too sure as to why she’s drooping so much as she grew quite a lot over december. should i chop those drooping leaves, or is there anything else i can do for her?

Repot into a 3” pot so the roots don’t have soo much excess room for moisture to stay in there🫶🏼

if it's cold in your area, move it from the window. the cold can still hurt the plants through the glass. always check the soil before you water! planta is infamous for overwatering. the other two stems look nice and healthy still so i wouldn't sweat too much yet.

I so agree. I was overwatering mine and now that I don’t, it looks so much fuller and happier. Mine grows very slowly
