Default Do These plants look sickly?

I've moved the ivies to my coffee table about a couple of feet from the 150W
bulb they sat under on my desk. Also I un-potted the two plants that
continued to show yellowing leaves and placed them back in water in hopes
that if it were the soil they'd rejuvenate their color and health.

Yet, another plant is showing one yellow leaf and I'm getting concerned that
they may all succumb to whatever is meta-morphing them. I don't expect a
miracle from anyone and all that have helped me I thank from my heart. I'd
just like for you to take a look at these pictures and if you can make out,
just tell me if they appear sickly. Thank you for you time and help.

Those aren't ivies they are pothos. And you are overwatering. When
you overwater pothos the stem stretches, meaning longer spaces between
the leaves and the leaves and stems yellow. If you want a full crown
on your plants take cuttings and put 6 or 8 in a 6" pot together. When
it comes time to groom the plant, cut the tendril back to soil level.
Cutting at the ends makes it look like a hat racked tree. The health
of your plants will recover if you cut back on the water. Personally
I think Superthrive is very beneficial to new root production. But
there are many that disagree and it is expensive.
