It's an indoor plant. I'm confused because part of the plant has healthy looking leaves turning yellow, and in other areas the leaves are still green but they're rolling up like they're too dry. I've always wondered how you can overwater ivy. Right next to the plant, I have some clippings I took several months ago that are doing just fine in nothing but a vase of water.

I've seen those little meters at Home Depot - I think I'll go get one & see if that will save my poor plant. Great idea - thank you!
