How to propagate creeper by cuttings? Will it freeze to death in winter?

1. Cutting method

1. Time: If you use hard branches for cuttings, the time should be around March or April. If you use young branches from the current year for cuttings, you can do it in summer or autumn.

2. Cuttings: For cuttings, choose branches with vigorous growth. If it is a hard branch, you can cut it to 10-15cm. Before cutting, check carefully to see if there are any diseases or insect pests on the branches. If so, do not use them. After cutting the branches, it is best to disinfect the pruned surfaces, apply some rooting powder on them, and then let them dry in the sun before use.

3. Cutting: Insert the processed branches into the soil, press it slightly with your hands, and finally water it thoroughly. Keep the soil slightly moist, and the branches will slowly take root.

4. Note: The soil used for cuttings should be disinfected if possible, because many soils may contain pathogens. If not disinfected, it is very likely to affect the rooting of the cuttings.

2. Will I freeze to death in winter?

Generally speaking, ivy will not be frozen to death in winter because it has strong cold resistance. As long as the winter temperature is not lower than -20℃, it will not suffer from frost damage. However, if it spends the winter in an extremely cold area without any protective measures, it is possible that it will be frozen to death, but this situation rarely occurs.
