[Cynnabar] I need ivy juice!

[Randy Asplund]

Jody, Thanks for your reply.

The sap runs now because of the longer light, and temperature change,  
which are common in plants at this time of year. An outdoor climbing  
vine is more certain to have the physiological temperature and  
sunlight cues to start this process.
