A reader bought an ivy garland in a 6-inch pot with 18 runners and asked about repotting to a larger container.
Leave the ivy in its current pot at least until spring—preferably as long as possible. Plants thrive when potbound. Water thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry. If watering becomes necessary every few days, move to a 7- or 8-inch pot using a peat-based, soil-less mix. Do not add new soil on top of the rootball.
