How to Preserve Fresh Cut English Ivy
- 1). Trim off any dead leaves from the cuttings and the leaves on the bottom part of the cutting that will be submerged in water, using a pair of scissors.
- 2). Place the entire English ivy cutting into a large container of cool water so that you totally submerged the plant for at least 15 to 20 minutes, hydrating all the plant tissues.
- 3). Lift the ivy from the water and place it directly into the vase water, and add the rest of the cut flowers to make your arrangement.
- 4). Change the water every few days or as soon as it starts looking cloudy.
