How to propagate ivy

1. Planting

Sowing is a common method of propagation of ivy. Usually, you can buy ivy seeds directly from the Internet or from flower markets. When the temperature is suitable in spring, soak them in warm water and then germinate them. While germinating, prepare the potting soil and flower pots, and water them enough. After successful germination, you can directly bury the seeds in the soil.

2. Layering

The ivy plant can also be propagated by layering, which can be done every spring and autumn. When layering, you can ring-cut its strong branches and then bury it in the soil and water it enough. After 10 to 15 days, the branches will grow new roots. After about ten days, prepare a new flowerpot and directly transplant the new plant into it.

When propagating ivy by cuttings, you can select a strong branch in its flowerpot and cut it into segments with scissors. Each segment must have intact leaves and aerial roots.

Put the soil in the flowerpot, water it enough, insert the ivy branches into the soil, and place it in a cool environment to slow down the growth. After it takes root and sprouts, transplant it directly into the new flowerpot and cultivate it.
