It can be brushed off and looks and feels a bit like dirt, but it's not! My point is that it's not actually eaten into the leaves, more like on the under surface.The plant isn't dying but doesnt really appear to be thriving either! It just stays the same really, I don't know anything about ivy, could someone tell me what this could be and how to get rid of it? Could i wipe this 'stuff' off the leaves or would I have to treat it in some way?thanks

call and ask your local nursery, they will probably need to look at the plant.

Try taking a soft cloth and wiping the leaves with some alcohol.
Just do a few and see if there is any bad effect, before doing all.

If it is a fern type plant the black spots are spores-made by the plant for reproduction purposes-the spots would be approx the same size and are spread in na even pattern.
