Method for rapid rooting of ivy cuttings Method for high survival rate of cutting propagation

The most common method of propagation of ivy is cuttings. Cuttings can be propagated not only in soil but also in water. Hydroponic cuttings of ivy are not only simple, but also can increase the survival rate of cuttings and make rooting and germination faster if the method is used correctly.

1. Time: You must choose the right time for hydroponic ivy cuttings. Ivy is not resistant to high and low temperatures, so summer and winter are not suitable for cuttings. The climate in spring and autumn is more suitable, so the best time for hydroponic ivy cuttings is spring and autumn.

2. Container: For hydroponic ivy cuttings, you need to prepare a container. The container does not need to be too large, and a pot mouth of about 5-10 cm will be enough. The container needs to be transparent, and you can use glass or plastic, so that it can take root quickly and it is also convenient to observe changes in the root system.

3. Cuttings: When growing ivy by hydroponic cuttings, you have to choose the cuttings carefully. You cannot use thin and weak branches or branches that have been diseased or insect-infested. You should use healthy young branches, and most importantly, they must have living roots. Without living roots, new roots will not grow.

4. Processing: After finding the cuttings, you should use clean and sterile gardening scissors to trim them. The length of the cuttings should be controlled at about 10-15 cm. Only 2-4 leaves need to be retained on each cutting. The extra leaves at the nodes can be cut off. Then use carbendazim and rooting powder to soak the base in water, and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound.

5. Cuttings: When cuttings, you need to put the cuttings into the container first, and then slowly add water. At this time, you need to be especially careful when adding water. The water should not be too deep, just enough to cover a part of the living roots. Also, some living roots need to be retained in the air, which will help the ivy take root and sprout, and grow new aquatic roots.
