# Ended up cutting back my Ivy today, she seemed to be killing her old…

_Posted by Bad Luck on 2026-01-02_

Ended up cutting back my Ivy today, she seemed to be killing her old growth to focus on the new ones and seeing as she’s in a smaller pot than she used to be I was worried she was doing a little too much… she was literally more than 2 feet in total length growing out of a peanut butter jar…

Oh wow! Are you gonna propagate the stems you cut off?

I’m checking with my friends to see if any of they want it and if not all this growth will sadly have to go to waste I don’t have much room for more pots.
