Snip off one of the vines of the English ivy at an angle just below one of the node. The cutting should be at least four inches long. Clip off the lower leaves of the stem. This will keep them from rotting in the soil. Dip the stem of the English ivy into a rooting hormone if you have it. Rooting hormone help with the growth and discourages rotting.Place some potting soil into a clean, sterile pot and stick the stem into the soil making sure not to scrape off the rooting hormone. Pack the soil around the base of the stem. Water the soil very well and continue to water regularly.
