Hi Angie and Welcome to the Garden Helper,,,,,
I want to be sure what Ivy your talking about,,,,, I heard people call Philodendrons , Ivys .. or parlor Ivy's.,,,
This is a philodendron,,,,, is this what you have????
There are many varieties but generally have the same care requirements,,,,,, they can tolerate Low light, But leaf's turning yellow probably means too low of light and /or too much water,,
allow soil to dry out' somewhat,',,,, But not all the way,,,,,, one thing to be careful of If you were to "mist it" is using cold water , as it will leave spots on the leaves, sometimes causing "black spot or Fungus,,,,, I usually have a water mister bottle near the plant that I'm misting so it will have the same room temp the plant is in,
