That glare in the photo is horrible, isn't it?! I had to have taken that with my useless cameraphone. Fortunately, the Swedish Ivy is happier, and I have a better picture. :)

I had only been watering in sips, and I had a pretty fast draining medium. Whatever I had used was probably a mixture of potting mix with extra coconut coir, sphagum moss, or vermiculite. So I couldn't have been giving it as much water as it needed. Also, when I took it out of the plastic pot, it looked like there were loads of spidery roots and not much medium left! *shameful* So I repotted it directly into a larger ceramic pot. I used some Jungle Growth Flower and Veggie mix, and added some vermiculite. The diameter of the top of the new pot in the pic is only a little bit larger than the original cache pot, but it's a bit deeper for more roots.

I't probably hard to really get a good idea of how much better the plant actually looks due to the poor quality original pic, but it's already noticeably greener and bushier. I'm looking forward to having to repot it again!

Thanks!
