I recently bought a Hanging Devils ivy from B&Q. But some of the leaves have developed brown patches on them or browning around the edges. What's going wrong?

I am in Seneca, SC, Zone 7b. The weather right now is in the low forties at night and sixties to low seventies in the day. I bought a large variegated ivy (glacier, I think) that does grow well outside here. I have several already. However, the one I just bought was grown and sold from a greenhouse.
I would like to gradually acclimate it to growing outside. Should I keep it in all winter or do I have time to acclimate it for outdoors? It will go outside next spring for sure. I need specific directions for adjusting it. I have lost some in the past because I didn't.

I have an indoor ivy and fern that both tend to weep and leave a sticky residue. During the summer months this residue attracts small ants. Is there a way to stop these plants from weeping? The residue has also stained the paint where the leaves are touching the wall.
Look for scale insects along the stem and on the leaves. That is the number one problem with many houseplant species. If scale is not the problem, you may have spider mites feeding on the leaf undersides. Look for little webbing on the leaf edges. Both these pests secrete honeydew, which is the sticky substance the ants are attracted to. Getting rid of the pests will help with the ants. Mist the foliage with distilled water at least three or four times a week. Neem oil is aso effective.

How often do I water my variegated ivy tree, and what kind of soil do they require?
Allow the plant to dry out between waterings (using the finger testing method--first 1/2 inch beneath soil should be dry) and then water the plant thoroughly. They like moist, well-draining soil with an equal mix of loam or compost, peat moss, and sand.

I have an ivy plant that is getting too long. It reaches across the room. I need to know how or where to cut it and replant it without killing it. This is a plant that is about 5 years old.
This vigorous grower needs regular pruning to keep it in shape. You can prune the plant back by as much as half at a time without hurting it. Since it propagates easily, you can also root some of the cuttings if desired.
