There is an ivy-like creeping plant in a local wooded nature park. It is growing freely %26amp; in abundance. I would like to grow this plant, or something very similar, in my super-small apartment backyard. Ideally, it would grow over the ground and up the wooden fencing, like it has done at the park. Can I just cut pieces off and grow them? What exactly would I have to do? I have the black thumb of death, so it has to be easy and nearly foolproof! If it's not at all possible to do this, I'd like to know that, too. My backyard faces roughly south %26amp; gets a lot of sun.
Is it possible to grow ivy from cuttings of wild ivy?

Reply:Yes - very easy to propagate.
Make short 4 to 5 inch cuttings. You can plant them directly in the ground provided you keep the area moist for about 2 to 3 weeks to let new roots develop.
Plant along your fenceline first - you may not want it to take over the entire area !!!
Reply:You should be able to take cuttings and root them in water if it is a form of ivy. Once it roots, plant it at intervals and watch it take over!
