How to Grow Ivy in Water With Miracle Grow

Select a container for your ivy that will facilitate the growth of the plant and not harmful algae or other chemicals which could hurt your ivy. Pottery, plastic or even ceramic containers can do the latter and should not be used. Dark glass is best, but if you don’t have any, just place your clear glass container inside something else to prevent direct sunlight from hitting it.

Remove all leaves from the portion of your ivy which will be submerged. Rinse off the root system and place the roots into the container. Fill with gravel over the roots and add non-chlorinated, lukewarm water.

Add Miracle-Gro Liquid All Purpose Houseplant Food to the water according to the directions on the package. Remember that you should not add Miracle-Gro Liquid All Purpose Houseplant Food to ivy cuttings, only to those with a root system already in place.

Place the ivy in a place where it will receive indirect light and away from direct sources of indoor heat. Check the container every few days and add water as needed to keep the roots fully submerged.
