Propagating Hedera Ivy from Stem Cuttings

Rooting Ivy Cuttings Successfully

The tiny bumps on your ivy stems are adventitious roots—natural in Hedera helix. In nature, they root when stems contact moist soil or bark. To propagate:

Cutting and Rooting

• Cut stems at any point; cutting just above a leaf node leaves a cleaner look on the parent plant.
• Place cuttings in water or damp potting mix—the bumps will develop into roots.
• Keep in bright, indirect light.

Your plant is healthy. The west window plus fluorescent lamp provides good light. Water when the top half-inch of soil is dry. No pests or diseases are evident.
