I had one ivy that just grew and grew to the point of my own exasperation. My housekeeper helped me take cuttings which we put in glass jars filled with water. In no time at all they started growing roots which called for more pots and potting soil. Luckily I had a large window with plenty of room for these plants. My hint here is coffee. I started giving each plant some coffee at least once a week. They loved it! Usually this was leftover coffee from a mug that had gotten cold. Rather than my throwing it down the sink, I hear (or see) my plants saying "Thank you! Thank you!" It is amazing how they all thrive from this, even the mother plant which was in truth looking a little pitiful.
