# Hello I just grabbed some ivy plant that was growing at my job, it…

_Posted by Sylvia on 2025-11-07_

Hello I just grabbed some ivy plant that was growing at my job, it was ground covering and I put it in water for about 2 and a half weeks do you think it’s time for me to put this in soil now? Thank you everyone ❤️

Please keep indoors. This is invasive.

Not gonna plant it!! I want English Ivy so I’ll dispose of it thank you 😊

Ready for soil!

I agree; it'll do fine if you plant it immediately and it is invasive. It's really hard to remove once it gets established

Thank you!I’ll dispose of it and just get a English Ivy 😊

That probably is english ivy. Also not sure where you live, but it's invasive for the USA, most of South America (though it's native to a couple countries there), Australia, and New Zealand. It's native to much of Europe and north Africa. Everywhere else it's grown in gardens but hasn't been an invasive problem
