Your baby is beautiful enough for a thousand, no a million, ivy plants. Do try to cut it way back and put it in the sun though... And I'm glad I popped in. Lovely blog.

Oh no! I totally relate! I understand the sadness of losing a plant. These days though, it's my poor cat that's needing attention. Maybe you can revive it...?

If you kept it for a decade you can't claim to suck at caring for plants. It's a regular occurrence in our house to have a therapy session of sorts for my wife when a plant dies. Looks like you have something far more precious to take care of now anyway!

Oh trust me you guys... That green is for show. It's hard and brittle and crumbles to the touch like dried flowers. There's no saving it! In fact, before declaring it dead and writing this post I tried for weeks to revive it. No such luck. Haha

I seriously doubt the Ivy is gone. I agree with the others - just cut it back some. Add indoor plant fertilizer, sunshine and water it. If not, it's just a plant - you're doing great on the one that really counts! ;-)

I still see green too! Try trimming it back and lots of water and sunshine or take the roots out of the soil and put into a small vase of water. You may be able to save it that way! :)

haha... oh, I feel your pain. I can't grow ANYTHING. I'm really shocked the kids have survived this long, truthfully. :-P

Oooh, I don't think that's dead! I still s...

Oooh, I don't think that's dead! I still see green. I hope you haven't thrown it out just yet.

Try trimming it way back, put it in the sun & see what happens.

I'm very sentimental as well. I used to be awesome at plants but haven't had any houseplants since mine all died during my initial hospitalizations. I'm thinking I need to change that up soon.
