How to propagate ivy and what to pay attention to

How to propagate ivy

There are generally two ways to propagate ivy, namely cutting propagation and sowing propagation. The survival rate of both propagation methods is relatively high, and the operation is also relatively simple.

Ivy seeds can be propagated, generally by sowing, and the seeds need to be harvested when the fruit is ripe.

The natural way for ivy to reproduce is by seed. The seeds need to be collected in advance and then sown in the spring of the following year.

Ivy is propagated fastest by cuttings because it is relatively simple to plant, grows relatively fast, and when the temperature is suitable, it will also take root relatively quickly.

Ivy breeding time

Ivy is generally planted in the spring every year. Its survival rate is relatively high at this time because the temperature is more suitable for planting.

Ivy propagation method

Ivy cutting propagation

Ivy cuttings are generally carried out in spring and autumn. It is necessary to cut annual branches and cut them into 10-15 cm long segments for stable insertion, with leaves on the top. Then, insert the leaves upwards into the sand bed about 5 cm deep. It is necessary to pay attention to shade and keep the insertion bed moist. It usually takes half a month to one month for roots to take root.

Ivy seed propagation

Ivy can be propagated by seeds in the areas south of the Yangtze River and in southern China. The fruits are harvested when they are ripe, soaked in water, rubbed, rinsed, and dried in the shade for storage. They are then sown in the spring of the second year. After sowing, a thin layer of soil is covered, and grass is used to keep moisture.

Precautions for propagation of ivy

When propagating ivy, you need to pay attention to the fact that the temperature needs to be kept between 18-25 degrees during maintenance. The temperature cannot exceed 30 degrees, otherwise it will cause the branches to turn yellow. Water and fertilize appropriately at normal times.
