ivy?<\/span><\/h3><p>As it develops, ivy goes through 3 successive stages.<\/p><p>1 - Initially, it crawls on the ground and forms adventitious roots that enable it to crawl further and further, forming an evergreen carpet. This is the juvenile stage.<\/p><p>2 - When it encounters a support, it starts to climb. Instead of adventitious roots, it forms spikes that enable it to climb higher and higher. This is the semi-adult stage.<\/p><p>3 - when it can see enough light, it enters its third stage, known as the <strong>mature stage<\/strong>. It now has horizontal branches, rather like a shrub. In autumn, it flowers in greenish umbels that are much appreciated by pollinating and foraging insects. These flowers give rise to berries that gradually ripen over the winter and are eaten by birds.<\/p><p>Adult ivy is therefore of great interest for biodiversity.<\/p><p>By taking cuttings from the parts of an ivy plant corresponding to the adult stage, we obtain adult ivy of the shrub type.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
