Ivy cutting propagation methods and precautions

How to propagate ivy

The leaves of ivy are very beautiful and remain green all year round, so it is very ornamental. Its reproduction methods include sowing, cuttings, grafting, etc. It usually uses cuttings or sowing for reproduction, and its growth rate is generally faster.

Ivy cutting time

For ivy, it can be propagated by cuttings throughout the year, but it is usually done in spring, April or May, because its stems and vines are more likely to take root at this time.

Ivy cutting propagation method

1. When ivy is cut into pieces, loose, breathable, and well-drained sandy soil is generally selected, which helps it grow faster.

2. When propagating ivy, cut the stronger branches from the plant, and then grow them to 15-20 cm to use as cuttings.

3. After ivy is cut, make sure the soil is moist and place it in a relatively cool place for maintenance.

Precautions for Ivy Cuttings

The most suitable temperature for ivy to grow is between 18-20 degrees. It will generally take root and sprout in about 20-30 days after cuttings. It has good cold resistance, so it can generally survive the winter safely. It needs to be watered and fertilized regularly during normal maintenance.
