I took a slip off my vine?

Should I plant it in top soil or potting soil

I took a slip off my vine?
Potting soild, don't overwater, you could put a clear plastic bag over it, but watch out for fungus. You could also use the hormone powder at the cut end to help root formation.



I have also seen this done by placing the ivy cutting in a jar of water - you can see the roots grow.



No hormone powder - boil 1 inch pieces of weeping willow branches (small ones) in water for a few minutes, let it cool until the next day and water with this. Natural grown inducer.
Reply:potting soil but keep it moist
Reply:Use potting soil and if you need an arbor for it I found www.traderoutesnw.com lots of fun stuff
Reply:I use organic humus that is sold at Lowe's for about $1 for a 40 lb bag. Potting soil will work too.
