rooting english ivy?

15 years ago

We have an area where we'd like to grow some of the same ivy that we have in other parts of the yard, but I'm wondering what the best way to get it to grow there would be:

1. rooting in water?

2. rooting in soil (container)?

3. rooting in soil (where I want it to grow) ?

4. ????

Any help is appreciated.

rooting ivy (english) is very simple.. I have it growing up my trees these days. Neighbor across the street has it covering her chain link fence. It will root quickly in water, also if it have any long vines and you put that on the ground for a while it will "walk away"! I still have some from my bridal bouquet 11yrs ago!!! Not sure where you live, your member page didn't indicate but if you get cold winters you could also bring some inside and grow it as a house plant til spring and start all over again. It's simple to prop-gate. Good luck, Happy Gardening! Karen
