What’s wrong with my ivy plant?

Hello!

My ivy plant is looking super sad ☹️ there is white stuff on the soil and half of it is completely dead. I feel like the other side it’s on it’s way too!

Is there a way to to rectify this?

Could be lack of water 🤔

Not sure what the white stuff is though

Do you have a photo of the white stuff/soil?

#1 that could be true, think I only watered it once every two weeks or so😬

#3 this picture isn’t great, I’ll will try and get a better in daylight.

I have bugs or mites😩 do you guys think they could be causing it? They are like white little crawling things 🤢

Wash it in the shower with water lukewarm and spray it with diluted water/dish soap
