i think it depends on the amount of water applied onto the surface above the root system, it may take upto three weeks for a fully mature root system to establish its boundaries.

If you get a really good growing season it takes about one full growing season to completely establish it self.

Most Ivy's, like any other plant, only needs a few days to begin establishing a tap root. Within a week, possibly two, it should have a somewhat developed system.

This is one of the easiest plants to root. Take a glass of water and put a stem in the water and 5 days it should start a sprout.

It will take atleast three weeks before you see the onset of any root system. As with any system, the soil needs to be cultivated weekly and also you need to water it.

If you put cuttings in water, roots will appear within a few days. Within a couple of weeks, it will develop and you can leave them in water or plant.

It doesn't take English Ivy very long to establish a root system. It establishes rather quickly and within a couple years you may need to trim it back
