1.   New plants arise vegetatively from dormant buds on the short upright rhizome of the main root.

2.   Since the inflorescence is not yet known, the plant is propagated only from dormant buds on the rhizome.

3.   The plant can be reproduced by obtaining bud plants from dormant buds on the rhizome, but reproduction is usually from seeds.

4.   Within ten to thirty days between twenty to fifty new plants begin to develop from the dormant buds on the rhizome.

5.   Cutting off the tip bud stimulates the dormant buds to sprout those new shoots, so where you cut is important.

6.   Dormant buds, covered in bud scales, had already formed in axils and on twigs.

7.   In time, a new shoot or shoots will start from dormant buds near the base.

8.   Plant the ivy four to six inches deeper than it was in its original container in order to force dormant buds to grow.

9.   Remember, what you are doing is forcing the dormant buds into early bloom.

10.   Removing the tip bud stimulates the dormant buds to sprout those new shoots.
