    Hi,
    I have a question about an older ivy type plant i've had for 6-7 years now. it's been growing steadily and easily, branching out happily, but lately has started to loose a lot of leafs in one section - they start getting yellow and then they dry out, i take them out. that same branch though continues to have new production of leaves at the end of it, as this plant is now wrapped many turns. Any advice?

    Thanks!

    Your plant looks like a Pothos, Epipremnum.
    Would probably benefit from being cut back and receiving more light.

    I have one these. And it went through a spell where it was dropping leaves just like yours is now. Turns out I was over watering it. Now I water it once every two weeks or so, until the top inch or two of soil is dry. After it stopped dropping leaves, I trimmed it up and have been giving it generous morning sunlight with indirect light the rest of the day. That seems to have perked it right up.
