# NO WAY! I couldn’t understand why my Ivy wouldn’t root! I had to…

NO WAY!

I couldn’t understand why my Ivy wouldn’t root! I had to throw away five other clippings because they rotted and never rooted, and I had no hope that this little guy would root. More than three weeks later…

Try putting a pothos clipping in with it

Came to say the same!

#### Altheo svarade den 2026-10-05

Can I ask why? Would it help the ivy grow faster?? 🧐

#### Stefanie Cooper svarade den 2026-10-05

Yes.

It acts as a root booster for your other plant

Persistent pays off?  
BTW what kind of wood is that? It’s dark. Is it walnut? Walnut is toxic to other plants. If it is varnished that could also inhibit growth.

Oh I dont know. But next time something doesn’t want to grow. I’ll try putting it in a cup instead of one of these test tubes.

Really I had no idea putting some pothos and would help it grow! In just six months of growing plants, I have learned so much from you people and even from the AI.

I do use liquid root boost hormone for all of my clippings.
