Can anyone tell me how to transplant English Ivy?

Answer 1

That's easy. Assuming you're not into the idea of digging. Just take cuttings and put them in water. Put them in vases in your windows and wait for them to grow roots, then plant them wherever you want them or just keep letting them grow in your house. It makes a nice houseplant as well.
The roots will come out at the points where the leaves grow out of the stems, so cut off the bottom leaves, kinda close to the stem but not right down to the stem. Let them get good and rooty then plant them.

Answer 2

It's actually very easy, let the dirt get dry in the plant to be transplanted, it's less messy, get the pot you are going to transplant the plant to, put some gravel in the bottom of the pot, add potting soil about half full, take the plant to be replanted, put the pot on it's side and gently bump it a couple times against a table edge to break the dirt and the root ball loose,put your hand over the top of the pot with your finger spread apart , turn the pot completely upside down and shake the plant until it falls into your hand, and gently pull it out , if the plant has a large amount of roots , pull them apart but don't break from the plant , just enough to separate the roots some ,pour water into the half full pot of dirt, place the plant roots into the wet soil, press lightly...cover the roots about 2-3 inch up the plant, press down the dirt,but don't pack,water the plant completely. Place in area where it's not in total sun light, I have a big hanging basket of English Ivy in my bed room at the window..but its hanging from a plant hanger attached to the stud part of the window , it gets the after noon sun, but it's filter through sheers...it's really growing...I water it about every 2 weeks....

Answer 3

Most of these answers are right on... What I've done is take a cutting of about 6 inches long, just above a leaf, and put it in a full vase of water. Watch the roots grow. It may take a few months. Then plant the cuttings in peat moss or potting soil after (optional) sprinkling rooting medium on the roots..

Best wishes!

Yank some up ans toss it where you want it. Put a little dirt on top. water.

It is a horrible invasive plant. My personal opinion is it should not be planted. There are so many other plants that do the same stuff and don't create a maintainance problem like this creeping vine.

But hey I predudiced because I have seen it eat full size trees and cover entire hillsides. Not good.
