@Maf538 - Whenever a plant's environment is changed, it requires adjustments on the part of the plant and the caretaker. Environmental changes include repotting, changing location, and changes in temperature and air circulation. All of those factors affect the water requirements. Changes in light require the leaves to adapt. and that usually means dropping off older leaves and replacing them with new leaves that are adapted to the new light intensity.

Given the many changes that your Ivy has experienced it is hard to know just what has happened.

In general, the less often plants are relocated, the easier they are to maintain.
