Can Ivy be propagated by cutting? How to quickly root the cuttings of ivy.

Can ivy be propagated by cutting?A small tip for life: introducing whether ivy can be propagated by cutting and knowledge about the fast rooting methods of ivy cuttings, as well as information about flowers and plants. Here is a comprehensive introduction.Ivy is a good indoor foliage plant for both beginners and experienced flower enthusiasts. In some places, ivy can easily become a type of weed that spreads easily, but in our country, it is generally cultivated as an ornamental plant, even as a type of indoor air-purifying greenery.The above image shows ivy that has been recently propagated by cutting and planted in soil.There are now several different ornamental varieties of ivy, some with leaves like duck feet, others with round leaves, some with droplet-shaped leaves, each with different ornamental qualities. Some variegated varieties even have golden patterns on the edges of their leaves.The golden-edged ivy potted plant bought from a flower shop has irregular golden borders on the edges of its leaves.Friends familiar with ivy know that it is a relatively easy plant to care for. However, its maintenance difficulty is easier than that of plants like pothos, especially indoors.Many friends have consulted me about this plant being prone to spider mites indoors, with leaves drying up or falling off for no apparent reason, and even causing the entire plant to wither.Indoor dry air, poor ventilation, and a warm environment make ivy particularly susceptible to spider mites, which is无可olvable. Increase humidity, improve ventilation promptly, and spray soapy water (mix 5 ml of soap water with 1 liter of clean water).Actually, we can take preventive measures in advance, such as propagating several pots in advance. Ivy is a relatively easy foliage plant to propagate, usually cultivated using water-based cutting propagation methods.Can ivy be propagated by cutting?The above image shows ivy and锦紫苏 propagated by cutting, placed by the window sill with scattered light in the morning for cultivation.For water-based cutting propagation of ivy, the specific steps are very simple, just needing a cup of clean water for propagation. It's best to prepare cutting tools in advance, including a sharp pair of scissors that should be disinfected. If you want to increase the chances of the cuttings rooting and sprouting, you can prepare some rooting powder or a rooting solution in advance, and of course, you need a healthy ivy potted plant with strong branches.Choose healthy branches, checking for pests and diseases on the leaves and the undersides. Each cut branch should be about 7 to 12 centimeters long, and the bottom leaves should be removed, leaving several growth nodes, with about 2 to 3 nodes immersed in water.The growth nodes of the ivy in the above image are particularly prominent.When propagating in water, the roots grow from the nodes at the bottom of the branches. When pruning ivy branches, sometimes you can see aerial roots at the nodes, which increase the success rate of water-based cutting propagation.The above image shows ivy with vigorous aerial roots at the growth nodes, which are more likely to grow in a humid environment.Cut ivy branches can be coated with some rooting powder or soaked in a rooting solution in advance. After soaking for 3 to 6 hours, they can be re-propagated in water, which are methods to significantly increase the success rate of cutting propagation.It is recommended to remove the leaves from the bottom of the branches for any plant cuttings and let the wounds dry before propagation.When immersing branches in water, it's important to immerse only about 3 centimeters of the bottom in water, making sure to avoid submerging leaves, as they will rot and severely affect the rooting of the branches.
