Lower leaves….near the dirt or at the end?

Question

For indoor plants, when you say the leaves turn yellow “at the end” do you mean furthest from the dirt in the pot of closest? We have yellow leaves just around the roots of an ivy plant. Are we watering too much or not enough?

Answer 1

Usually, at the end means the tips of the leaves while yellowing nearest the roots, like yours would be the base of the plant. At any rate, yellowing leaves are due to stress, regardless of the area in which it's found. Pinpointing the cause of the stress will help with treating the yellowing.
