1. Moisten a paper towel. Place the ivy seeds in the paper towel and leave it in the refrigerator's crisper drawer for 3 weeks.
2. Do not keep any apples or bananas in the refrigerator during this time. They release ethylene gas which will render the seed nonviable.
3. Fill a small (10cm to 15cm) pot or germinating trays with moistened seed-starting soil.
4. Place one ivy seed in the center of the pot/ germinating trays, roughly 2.5cm apart for pots.
5. Press the seeds gently into the soil with your finger to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
6. Keep the pot outdoors in an area where it will receive indirect sunlight.
7. Check the soil's moisture level at least once daily.
8. If it begins to dry out, re-moisten it with a spray-bottle until you see water drip from the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.
9. Sit back and watch it grow.
