Don't just go by the top looking dry, go ahead and stick your finger down in that dirt (it will wash off)  Most plants hate for their feet to stay wet and the biggest reason people kill plants is overwatering not underwatering. You can tell if it is underwatered because it will start looking wilty. Philodonderons aren't that hard to grow...you can do it!! Ivy's are super hardy too, if you are looking to branch out...stay away from the palms....picky, picky, picky!  | I just repotted it so hopefully it'll live! I actually bought an ivy plant at the same time I bought the other plant.. and it's done better (I believe. ) than the philo.
Thanks for the advice.
