I am wishing to spread out the English Ivy that I have to cover a larger area.
The area that I already have English Ivy is quite fully covered and by now is clumped up, but I am wishing to extend this Ivy to cover more bare areas.
Is it possible to "propogate" these plants or how exactly could one divide or replant Ivy to save the expense of buying new Ivy plants?
Thanks for your answers!
How is it possible to "propogate" or spread out English ivy in a planting area?
find a nice young tip about 6" long cut it and put it in water for a few weeks, it will crow roots, then plant.
you can layer as well. lay a long enough branch of ivy on the dirt cover the middle of it with soil so there is about 10" sticking out, water the covered section, place a small rock on it to keep it in place if needed, leave it connected to the main plant. in a few weeks the section you buried well grow roots, cut it from the main plant and dig up to plant else where.
Reply:Ivy is easily propagated take some cuttings and you can actually root them in a cup of water. then once they have good roots ...plant them when you want!
