Ivy always trains sticking roots
Is there ivy without paralysis roots?
As a climber, ivy climbs up to everything, which offers him stability. This is ensured by the adherent roots that form on the young shoots. Sometimes, however, it seems as if the planted ivy grows without pinnae and therefore needs to be tied by hand. The adhesive roots are formed after some time.
Ivy initially grows slowly
Ivy grows very slowly in the first two or sometimes five years. The tendrils only seem to grow a little longer and they also have no attachment roots, with which they can rise up on the trunk.
This is quite normal, because ivy just needs some time to settle in the site. But then he gets everything and grows so fast that you can watch it.
Why does ivy grow without its roots?
The adhesive roots are formed only where the shoot rests directly on the ground or a climbing aid such as a wall or wall. If the shoot has no adhesion to the substrate, the adhesive roots are left out.
This can occur, for example, at chain-link fences, because here the meshes are too large and offer the Efeutrieb no incentive to form adhesive roots.
Even on bright walls and walls, ivy initially remains without adhesive roots. A bright background reflects the light too much and the shoots lean away from the wall. Due to the lack of circulation, no adhesive roots are formed.
Tendrils need a climbing aid
If you've planted ivy fresh, it does not just need a climbing aid. In the first years, you have to support him in the tendril, until sufficient sticking roots have formed.
On very smooth walls tie it tight. As a base you can use simple, long bamboo poles or wooden slats. When placing an ivy fence on the wire mesh, pass the tendrils through the mesh initially. Later, the shoots find enough hold in the woody branches and then also form anchoring roots.
Tips
There is one type of ivy whose adherents are not quite as strong. Hedera hibernica, Irish ivy, is therefore particularly well suited to greening walls. This variety is easier to remove from house walls later.
