I don't know about the plant itself but if there is water standing for too long in the bootom of the pot it becomes stagnit and will develop a smell.. When I first started with houseplants years ago,, I had a habit of leaving water standings untill I discovered the smell I would do just as you did rinse it off and put it in a pot with soil soak the soil good and let it drain really good then water again so the water that should stay in it.... does.. But the Ivy you have looks like the kind we have here that climbs the outside of homes and building and it is very dry here but they are everywhere But you have your in a glass If you want to keep in a jar of water just change the water out morre frequently and clean the jar cuz it will hold the smell too
