Is there a specific way to propagate a cutting from an ivy plant?
gpt
What does propagate mean?
human
To take a snip off one plant and use it to grow a new plant.
gpt
A snip, so you want to cut off a piece of one plant and grow it into a new plant?
human
Yes, that's propagation.
gpt
Ok, if you want to grow a new ivy plant from one you already have, you cleanly cut a six-inch stem with healthy leaves on it. You dip the cut end into a rooting hormone, then plant the cutting in some in a potting mix. Keep it in a bright location.

Yes, you need to feed it plant food, one that says 10-10-10 or 20-20-20.
