How do I propagate IVY?
I stopped in a local shop to look at all the new house plants and the owner gave me this long star and of Algerian Ivy because it had broken off the main plant! 🪴 I’ve never seen Ivy this big! And the last time I tried to propagate Ivy it died. lol 😆 So, any tips???? I need help! #Ivy #AlgerianIvy #PropagationStation #Propagation #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #theamigos #NEPAGregGang #FortuneCookie4Scale *Fortune cookie for scale! 😄

@nellz4estfairyz Choose semi-ripe stems with several leaf nodes.
Make a clean cut below a leaf node using sterilized shears.
Remove lower leaves to prevent rot.
Apply rooting hormone to the cut end.
Plant the cutting in a moist potting mix with at least one node buried. Select a young, flexible stem.
Make a small incision or strip some bark to encourage rooting.
Pin the stem down to the soil with a node buried. Provide bright, indirect light and consistent moisture.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Consider using a plastic dome to maintain high humidity. Happy Growing!

@Ms.Persnickety it was such a long strand that I actually made it into multiple cuttings and put half into water and half over top of some damp Magnum Moss over some soil. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
