Hi Lee, I know this thread is at least 3 yrs old, but I just got a small pot of ivy recently. I am kind of lost that I think I over water it when I received it (almost daily or twice a day). Then I read about if overwatering, ivy leaves will turn yellow which happened to mine (see the leaf tip at center and another completely yellow gone). So I stopped watering. But now it doesn't look like very happy... According to your opinion, should I or can I daily mist it? And when misting, should I just mist on the plant (leaves)? or the soil/mix too? I fear if misting on soil, will over water again.
And then I got a Pothos too. It seemed the same problem. Should I do the same (misting) on it too? Please confirm and advise. Thanks
