Ivy

Stems without leaves

I purchased 200 stems of ivy. I didn’t count, but it seemed as though they did included the full amount. When I got the ivy, they were wilty, which is a little expected due to being transported without water. In addition, the stems were mostly bare anyway, the stems are only 18inches long maximum, and there would be 7-8inches before there was a singular leaf on the stem. It also seemed as though bugs had gotten to them, because many of the leaves were incomplete, they looked like they had been chewed or torn. I quickly cut off the ends of the stems, put them in water, and kept them in a cold place. They remained wilted the couple days prior to my event, and I only felt I was able to use 20 of the 200 stems I received.
