Ask the Expert: my dying English Ivy

I have an English ivy that I purchased in a small container and a few days later replanted. It immediately began losing leaves, after they turned brown of course, and now I have a few sticks and a few leaves.
It is in filtered sun light.
Should I pray for it and see what happens?  Audrey

Ask the Expert: Can I move and re-plant a bamboo plant

My friend is getting rid of her bamboo plant and I said I’d love to have it but I’m unsure if its safe to dig up and move the bamboo plant and re-plant it somewhere else.  Do you have any tips to ensure it survives?  The soil I will be planting it in is hard and has shade in places and sun in others.  I look forward to your response.
