Got a curly ivy plant ("Small Leaf Green Curly Locks") that isn't doing well.  Despite everything I have done for it, it's still
getting brown spots on the leaves, then the leaves start dying...sometimes the brown starts on the edge of the leaf and then the
leaves turn dry and fall off.  I had the same problem with the needlepoint ivy a few weeks back, suspected spider mites, and
sprayed the plant each day for a couple of weeks, and put it in a different location, and for the most part, the needlepoint ivy
isn't doing it anymore.  I really like this little curly ivy plant, and would hate to lose it.  Anyone really good with ivy
here?  Could it be the soil isn't in the proper balance?  I'm in Michigan...and the ivy's in the east window, to get some of the
morning sun (the tag that came with the plant calls for diffused light and frequent watering).  I'd sure appreciate anyone's
suggestions.
