Help with a dying Swedish Ivy

My sister gave me a "Swedish Ivy" and it was extremely overwatered. All the leaves fell off, and i let it dry out and watered it again, but it looks like a twig sticking out of the dirt. What should I do? Can I revive it? and how??? ![[Confused]](im/confused.gif)

They like to be on the dry side& they like organic soil.you can pinch a cuting off and root in water.maybe check the soil if is hard it may not be getting air to the roots http://www.oldhouseweb.net/gardening/garden/01700730.shtml may this help you out.

If your plant lost all of its leaves because of overwatering, then that means the roots have completely rotted and the plant cannot be revived. Sorry about that.

Hi Alaska Girl! ![[wayey]](im/graemlins/wavey.gif)
I don't have the answer to your question, but wanted to say hi from one who lived in Alaska for a short while. I lived in Anchorage back in 1977-8. My husband, then boyfriend, lived in Girdwood for 3 years - he couldn't get enough skiing while there - both downhill and crosscountry.
I took quite a few trips down to Seward and Homer with my roommate and loved the areas. What peaceful beautiful country you live in! Wish I could go back in time...![[Cool]](im/cool.gif)
ah, well... maybe a visit back should be in the works sometime in the not so distant future...![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)
