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.

You are over or under watering, and the plant is not getting enough light to
perform well. Pothos can photosynthesize in very little light, but the plant
will be sparse and not have dark green foliage. Give it more light and don't
overwater, which is the killer of most houseplants.

Ah. The Bachelor Philodendron. What fun to see how far it'll trail
around a room, yards from its roots. :-) Snip off 8" or so sections;
root them (they root very easily), plant in a decent sized pot, and
don't overwater. They're good low-light houseplants, and virtually
impossible to kill, but prefer soil a bit on the dry side. I've never
had much luck pinching back to produce 'bushy' growth, but that's
what's recommended. With one healthy exception, the pots in your
pictures looked entirely inadequate for the size of the plants, as
well as being enclosed in 'outside pots' ideal for standing water and
root-rot.

It's nice that you care enough to worry about them. You might like to
try a really big pot with one of those kind of furry stakes in it to
let the plant twine up and down.

Thanks everyone I'll take the overwatering to heart. That's what I was
afraid I was doing. I'll snip the long one and I'm gonna plant them all in
one giant planter that has it own stand. Would Spagnum Moss be good to plant
these in along with a spagnum pole. Don't know if you've seen the but it's
all in a wire basket type container?

Sphagnum moss actually *grows* in bogs, which is what you're trying to
keep your plant pots from becoming. :-) The dried stuff in baskets
and seed-starting mix is dead material, not live plants.

See:

http://www.orchidmall.com/general/sphagbog.htm

I will leave others to suggest 'gound cover' companion plants for
Philodendrons.

Use potting mix and yes, they want to climb, not hang, so do use the pole.
Schultz's makes a wonderful new potting mix which is called Organic. I'm sure
it's not organic in the same way I am organic, but I've used it for seedlings
and it's a nice, fluffy material.

I use hanging self watering (bottom) pots for my pothos. I just fill up the
container at the bottom and the water is filtered to the plant when it needs
it. I find that it avoids me from overwatering them as I have tendancies
with other plants to do this. They thrive nicely and I have rooted them
several times over. I have even given clippings to friends to start plants
of their own!
