I need some advice. Two days ago I was doing yard work which involved completely removing a twenty year old english ivy that grew ugly and unchecked. It turns out it formed some really nice trunks so having choice between discarding them right away and trying to do something interesting with them I pulled them from the ground as carefully as possible given the conditions (it grew in mostly sand and brick rubble somehow) and planted them in pots for now.
Due to the pruning 100% of the leaves are gone and roots had to be reduced significantly during harvesting. I planted them in much richer soil, on the second day fertilized with something that should encourage rooting and left it in a half shade under a large tree.
I don't expect much, wouldn't be surprised if they all died but from what I observed over the years english ivy is extremely resilient and grows like a weed essentially.
In about how long you think I should expect to see signs if they'll make it or not?
