A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum My new Plant

I bought this new ivy for my house. He told me that this was a geranium(sp?) ivy. Is that what this is?

He told me to keep it moist but don't drown it and I could use my miracle grow on it, it should be kept inside out of direct sunlight. I just fell in love with this. I have been eyeing it for some time but wanted to wait until the price was right, finally got it!

Are you sure he said geranium?? is there no tag on it?? I'll look at other ivys and see If I can find a better match with the leave,, cuz now I'm curious too!

Not Ivy
Not geranium......Heavier and glossy leaves.. Something different like a Holly type......

I looked thru a lot of ivy types sites and I didn't see anything with leaves like that Hopefully in the spring or some time before it will set blooms and we can Id it better!

woo hoo

Somehow I think I used to have that .

Maybe one day my mind will think of it.

Grape Ivy Cissus rhombifolia

Your 100% correct ..........Wild Willy.
Guess you should know being your just as wild as Hot Rod is....

Thank you so very much! How do you propragate (sp?) this plant?

I just snip off a piece and put the bottoms in water til they grow roots, if it has a woody stem then I scratch a bit off the base then dip it in rooting powder then stick it in soil.

I've never has this plant but I've done this several times with other ivy's.
