How to Propagate Ivy and Precautions
An introduction to the propagation methods and precautions for ivy, let's take a look together!
How to Propagate Ivy and Precautions
Ivy propagation usually has two methods: cutting propagation and seeding propagation. Both methods have a high survival rate, and the operation methods are relatively simple. During maintenance, the temperature needs to be kept between 18-25 degrees Celsius. The temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, otherwise it will cause the branches to turn yellow. It is necessary to water and fertilize moderately in normal times.
Ivy Propagation Methods
Ivy propagation usually has two methods: cutting propagation and seeding propagation, both of which have a high survival rate and are relatively easy to operate.
Ivy seeds can be used for propagation, usually through seeding. Seeds need to be collected when the fruit is mature.
The natural propagation method of ivy is seeding, which requires collecting seeds in advance and then sowing them in the spring of the following year.
Cutting propagation is the fastest for ivy because it is simple to plant and grows quickly. With suitable temperature, the rooting speed is also fast.
Ivy Propagation Time
Ivy is usually planted in the spring every year, as the survival rate is relatively high at this time due to the suitable temperature for planting.
Ivy Propagation Method
Ivy Cutting Propagation
Ivy cutting is usually carried out in spring and autumn. It is necessary to cut one-year-old branches into 10-15 cm long sections as cuttings, with a little leaves at the top, then insert them into the sandbed with leaves upwards about 5 cm deep. It is necessary to provide shade and keep the cutting bed moist. Roots can usually grow in about half a month to a month.
Ivy Seeding Propagation
Ivy can be propagated by seeding in areas south of the Yangtze River and in South China. Collect the seeds when the fruit is mature, soak in water, rub and rinse clean, then dry and store in the shade. Sow in the spring of the following year, cover with a thin layer of soil, and mulch with straw to keep moisture.
Precautions for Ivy Propagation
Attention should be paid to ivy propagation. During maintenance, the temperature should be kept between 18-25 degrees Celsius. The temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, otherwise it will cause the branches to turn yellow. It is necessary to water and fertilize moderately in normal times.
