Browining/Leaves drying up? My Ivy plant has just been pruned, and i've been really watching its care these past few days, misting it, putting it on a tray with rocks, however, i've just gotten a closer look at it, and im noticing some new growth, as well as some small, dry, brown leaves. Could these be vines i missed while pruning? Also i only see this on maybe 4 or 5 of the leaves but its starting to brown around the edges, does it just need watered? Help!!

My ivy plant has been extremely wet for quite some time now, and has not dried out. The leaves continue to turn brown and i'm quite nervous for the health of my plant. I saw somewhere on Greg that if i take dilute Hydrogen Peroxide (Mixed with water,) it will sanitize and dry the plant. Is this true? If so, how much should I use? Here is my plants information for reference.

🪴 Soil
