   Cut off what’s dead and make sure the soil hasn’t become hydrophobic.

     Should I repot if the soil is hydrophobic? How do I determine that?

     1. Stick your finger in the soil, if it’s completely dry. AND 2. When you pour water on the soil it doesn’t absorb easily, or just sits on the top of the soil. Hydrophobic just means it’s repelling water, it’s so dry it’s having difficulty absorbing it. Can be remedied by soaking whole pot in water bath, or bottom watering until you can feel the soil near the top isn’t so dry.

   It looks like an ivy plant? I believe they require high humidity, like over 50%, so it could be low humidity.

   Also, double check for spider mites. I’ve lost a few ivy to those jerks.

     I’ve heard spider mites love ivy - ugh that’s a bummer. Hope they don’t have those.

   My ivy is in my kitchen in indirect light (meaning no direct sun) direst sun will burn/dry out those leaves fast. Ivy are humidity loving, part light/part shade plants. I put mine near my humidifier & it had so much new growth that it’s roots broke it’s plastic pot. I repotted it last night 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😅
