I just got an Ivry from my mom. It is the one with vines. On some of the vines there are little bumps where it looks like it was trying to grow,and some of the leaves are speded out. What can I do to get this plant grow. [flower]

Welcome to the forum Lacy! I'm guessing you have English Ivy?? Cut the vines into roughly 4 inch lengths and pull the lower leaves off leaving only a few leaves at the top. Stick them into a pot leaving the leaves exposed. It might make it easier if you pre-punch some holes with a pencil and then place the ivy stems in the holes. Then water them and keep moist but not soggy and place them in good light, but not direct sun. They should root and begin to grow.
