    Without killing what is around it, it will be necessary to keep it cut, and pulled up. This means every instance as it occurs. Letting it get any sunlight will result in survival, so killing leaves as they even begin to form will be needed.

    Otherwise, you may need to turn to selective herbicides for the ivy in question.

    Yes, you can grow ivy in pots. Height and growth may be affected if it becomes rootbound in the pot.

    Unfortunately, this is most common with overwatering.

    You will want to treat with a fungicide, and cut back some of the longer growth.

    If you have drainage holes to allow water out of the bottom and away from the container, then you can water once the top 2 inches of soil are completely dry.

    If the container has no drainage, then you will want to wait until it is almost completely dry down to the bottom before watering again.

    Here are some articles that will help:

    Pick several sections with good roots then remove the leaves about 6 inches from where you will insert the stems. Then cover with potting mix, being careful not to cover any leaves.

    Many of the Iris Ivy, Hedera hibernica, will turn red through some or most of the year. This article will help you care for English Ivy, which has similar care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/groundcover/english-ivy/english-ivy-plant-care.htm

    Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to diagnose the issue. My best guess will be a fungal or bacterial issue. Fungicides will be in order. This article will help:

    Making sure that the area has plenty of time to dry out between waterings will be the best way to prevent infections. If this is not possible in your area, you may need to turn to biofungicides, or living microbes that will stay in the soil and offer protection for extended periods.
