The evergreen ivy is very popular in domestic gardens. Here you can find out what you have to consider when propagating ivy with cuttings and offshoots.

If you can't get enough ivy (Hedera helix) in your garden, you're in luck. The proliferating plant is extremely easy to propagate. No wonder, after all, the ivy stands for life and immortality. And the ivy can't be beaten that easily either. We show how to best proceed with propagation by cuttings and offshoots.
Propagating Ivy
Ivy has a strong urge to grow and multiply. If you examine the plant more closely, you will find roots in very different places, especially in creeping specimens. It is hard to tell where one plant ends and the next begins. However, each part bearing roots is also viable in theory and could in fact be self-sufficient.

Ivy is very vigorous. So simply cut off an unwoody piece of the plant about ten centimeters long and place it in a glass of water. However, you should darken this so that the roots can develop undisturbed by light. Alternatively, you can of course stick the cuttings directly into a container with moist soil. The rooting then proceeds quite quickly. One important thing to note, however, is that ivy develops two different types of shoots. The first type is creeping tendrils. These are ideal for propagation. Upright instincts, on the other hand, will always remain upright instincts. They develop for the first time after about ten years and form flowers and fruits. The best distinguishing feature, however, are the leaves. Unlike the lobed leaves of creepers, those of upright shoots are oval with only a single tip. If you use such a shoot as a cutting, the young seedling will never crawl, but rather grow into a bush.

The typical way andIn addition to seed reproduction, the ivy's way of self-reproduction is through the formation of offshoots. Shoots close to the surface develop roots and anchor themselves in the ground. If you want to specifically pull an offshoot, it works in a very similar way. Place a shoot on the ground and heap some soil over it. Within a few weeks, roots will form in the soil-covered area. Once this is done, you can separate the offshoot from the mother plant with a clean and sharp knife.
