How to grow it
STRATIFICATION: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Place in the provided moistened growing medium in a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 33-41°F (1-5°C) for 30-60 days.
PLANTING: After stratification, fill your Seeds In A Cup container with the provided growing medium. Press seeds lightly onto the surface — cover with ⅛ inch of medium. Water gently. Place in a bright but indirect light location (60-70°F) or under a grow light for 12-14 hours/day.
SEEDLING CARE: Ivy seedlings grow slowly at first, then accelerate. Keep soil moist. Ivy thrives in low to moderate light — perfect for north-facing windows. Transplant to a hanging basket or climbing pot when seedlings are 4-6 inches. WARNING: Toxic to pets — keep out of reach of dogs and cats.
