Rooting Ivy
Hello,
I have been trying to get some ivy cuttings to root, which I have liberated from the wall outside where I work. I don't know what type it it, but it's quite attractive with red edges to it's broad leaves. I am now on my third batch of cuttings. They keep dying. First I took some fresh softwood growth, made a cut below a leave stem and took off the lower roots. Dipped it in rooting compound and planted in seed compost. After a matter of days the leaves and stem had dryed and compleletly died. My second batch were from the more mature part of the original plant, but I fear it was a bit too woody, and they seem to by dying to. My third batch have gone in this week, and are from somewhere between the two. I also tried planting a single leaf, as an experiment. Any hints? Am I doing everything wrong? Justin |
