Diagnosing Brown, Pale Leaves on Indoor Ivy

Without a full-plant photo, the most likely cause is root rot from overwatering or overpotting. Other possibilities include insufficient light or excessive heat.

Ideal Conditions for Hedera Ivy

• Tightly potted in fast-draining soil.
• Bright, sunny location (but not scorching).
• Cool temperatures below 75°F (24°C).
• Allow top ½–1 inch of soil to dry between waterings.
• Watch for spider mites.

A photo showing the entire plant would allow a more precise diagnosis.
