I recently bought a couple of 10" hanging baskets from Lowe's. One is a "black" Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus sp.) which is doing quite well. The other one is a regular old Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus australis) and it is not doing very well. The leaves develop black spots on them and then they eventually shrivel up and fall off. I have it in moderatley moist soil and medium light which is what the label says. Does anyone know why the leaves are turning dark, and if so, what is causing it and can it be saved.

Thank you,
