If a piece of Ivy hedera is cut and put into water will it root or do they grow fairly fast and prefer to be left alone? I just purchased a small hanging basket one last week and anxious for it to spread [thinker] It's on the front porch [Embarrassed]

I think they are fairly slow growers. They will root in water(rooting hormone helps)so have fun.

That "boom" thing happened to me with a lot of my plants. I found out that I wasn't teasing apart the roots enough when I repotted. Now I tease them apart and use water to wash out some of the soil before I put up.
