I've had this variegated ivy plant for almost 2 months now and about two weeks ago I started noticing small webs on the leaves. I figured it was spider mites so I've been misting the leaves everyday with water mixed with a few drops of soap, I had read that should work in getting rid of them. But I've also noticed some of the leaves quickly darkening in a few days and drying up. I don't know if it's the spider mites lack of water or too much. I thought it was lack so i removed the plant carefully from the pot and notice many roots and dry soil so I moved the soil a bit and sprayed it with water. I just wanted to know if this problem sounded familiar to anyone or if anyone has suggestions on what I can do to fix the issue. This is my first time having a plant. I keep the plant indoors I had a UV filtered lamp on the plant but recently stopped using it thinking it may be part of the issue. Please help me figure out whats wrong with my plant. I also posted some pictures to show what I'm talking about and some where the leaves look fine, thanks.
