How to propagate Ivy, quick rooting method for Ivy cutting.

How to propagate ivyA detailed introduction about how to propagate ivy and the quick rooting method of ivy cutting, which is knowledge about flowers and plants. Next, the editor of this site will introduce it to everyone.Ivy is a good indoor foliage plant for both beginners and flower friends with more experience in flower cultivation. In some places, ivy can easily become some kind of invasive weed, but in our country, it is usually grown as an ornamental plant, or even as a kind of indoor air-purifying green plant.The above image shows ivy that has been recently propagated through soil culture cutting.Now there are several different ornamental varieties of ivy, some leaves resemble duck feet, some leaves are round, some leaves look like water droplets, and their ornamental value is different. There are even variegated varieties with golden patterns on the edges of the leaves.A potted ivy with golden edges bought from a flower shop has irregular golden edges on the leaf margins.Common indoor diseases and pestsFriends 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 green萝, especially indoors.Many friends have consulted me about this plant being prone to spider mites when kept indoors, and the leaves tend to dry up or fall off for no apparent reason, which can even cause the entire plant to wither.Dry indoor air, poor ventilation, and a warm environment make ivy particularly susceptible to spider mites, which is无可奈何. It is important to increase humidity, improve ventilation, and promptly spray soapy water (5 ml of soapy water mixed with 1 liter of water).In fact, we can also take preventive measures in advance. It's a good idea to propagate several pots, as ivy is relatively easy to propagate. It is usually cultivated using water culture cutting methods.How to propagate ivyThe above image shows the ivy and锦紫苏 propagated through cutting, placed by the window sill with scattered light in the morning for cultivation.Propagating ivy through water culture cutting is simple. You just need to prepare a cup of clean water. It's best to prepare the cutting tools in advance, including a sharp pair of scissors, which should be disinfected. If you want to increase the chances of the cuttings rooting and sprouting, you can prepare some rooting powder or rooting solution in advance, and of course, you should have a healthy, robust potted ivy plant.Select some healthy branches and check for diseases and pests on both sides of the leaves. Each cutting should be about 7-12 centimeters long. Remove the bottom leaves and retain several growth nodes, with about 2-3 nodes immersed in water.The growth nodes of the ivy in the above image are particularly conspicuous.When propagating through water culture, the roots grow from the nodes at the bottom of the branches. When pruning ivy branches, you can sometimes see some aerial roots at the nodes. If the branches have aerial roots, the success rate of water culture cutting is higher.The above image shows ivy with vigorous aerial roots at the growth nodes, which is easier to grow in a humid environment.The cut ivy branches can be coated with some rooting powder or soaked in a rooting solution at the bottom. After soaking for 3-6 hours, they can be re-cultivated in water. These methods greatly improve the rooting of the cuttings.
