# sooo, i just got an english ivy clipping as a gift, doesn’t have any…

sooo, i just got an english ivy clipping as a gift, doesn’t have any roots yet because it was just cut and put in water. i was trying to find information about how to grow english ivy in a pot but wasn’t having a lot of luck 🤔 i was wondering what kind of pot to plant it in and how deep the pot has to be? do i immediately plant it in dirt or do i need to do something before planting it? should i put it in a hanging pot or not? sorry, that’s a lot of questions 😅if anyone has any tips, i’d appreciate it lovelies! \<3

I don’t know a lot of these answers but I personally like hanging pots for vining plants, it’s definitely not necessary though

yeah i like the idea of hanging pots with vines too! 😄

English Ivy is easy to propagate, but I’ve had better luck with water. Once the roots are around an inch long, I transplant into a 3”x3”x3” plastic nursery pot.
