I have this Algerian ivy plant which hasn’t been doing too hot for a while, I’ve been on schedule with watering (and being careful to not over water when still damp) but I haven’t seen much improvement yet…. Wondering how I can get this guy back to good health

I don’t like to grow ivy’s indoors. I tried several ones when I was a beginner but after killing my 5th one I gave them up. They are growing like weeds in the garden where I live. But I’ve switched them to other plants indoor. Peperomia scandens and Senecio macroglossus might be better choices for you?

It almost either looks diseased or like it’s not getting enough moisture. I have a creeping Charlie and a baby tears that look like this right now.

Oh these cuties sure are tricky to keep alive indoors. For now I would check the soil (and if wet/smelly consider reporting it), that it gets enough light and if possible try to raise the humidity by placing it on a tray with pebbles or close to an humidifier. And when spring and summer comes: bring it outside if that’s an option 😎☀️

Do these really long offshoots off the short stems look problematic? They never grown a leaf so I’ve been considering pruning those off
