I already have an ivy(in the same room) for over 6 months and it is doing great. It is a different type, smaller leaves. I was just given this Green Royal Tee Ivy and it was nice and green when I got it. I repotted it in a pot just a bit bigger than the temp plastic it came in. I have watered it just like my other, but I have noticed the leaves turning brown, falling off, and it just seems to be drying out, becoming sort of brittle. I may have over watered it, thinking it was too dry, but I didn't drown it, I am sure. What should I do? Repot? It gets indirect/curtain filtered light as the direction stakes says. (curtains are sheers) Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Lift the pot. Light = dry. aerate (poke holes in the soil) and water. Heavy = wet. allow to dry out.
Over watering will rot the roots. The stems and leaves will become soft/wilted looking and the plant will reek of rotting vegetation. Only cure is to let it dry out.
good luck

put the plant in the biggest pot possable, with fresh moist pottting soil.. Put it in the window for the sun light,.
Now, get your self an empty gallon jug, and care fully mix up some powdered plant food, per the mixture rate for a gallon of water, and a new spray bottle.
once in the morning, spray the whole plant with the plant food, and keep the soil moist
