How to grow ivy quickly? How to make ivy take root quickly in hydroponics?

The evergreen ivy is a favorite of many people. I like to grow this green ornamental plant at home, but some people find that their ivy always grows so slowly when growing it, so they want to know how to make the plant grow quickly and how to make ivy take root quickly when hydroponically grown. Today, I will introduce these knowledge related to ivy, and friends who need it can focus on it.

How to grow ivy quickly

1. Reasonable fertilization

Ivy is a fertilizer-loving plant. It can only grow faster if it is properly fertilized during the cultivation process. In the spring of each year, after the ivy enters the growth period, it should be topdressed with thin liquid fertilizer every two weeks, and phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer should be applied about 30 days after it takes shape. Ivy has a relatively large demand for nitrogen fertilizer during its growth process, but you must pay attention to the amount of fertilizer supplied. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will grow rapidly and it is not conducive to maintaining the plant shape.

2. Water moderately

Ivy is a green plant that likes a humid environment. It will only grow fast if it is watered moderately during the cultivation process. In spring, you can water it every 3 to 5 days to increase soil moisture. After entering summer, in addition to maintaining the watering frequency, you should also spray water on its leaves in time to keep it growing in an environment with relatively high humidity. This will promote the rapid growth of ivy.

How to make ivy grow roots quickly in hydroponics

1. When using hydroponics for ivy, you can directly transplant the strong branches from the flowerpot. After taking out these branches, rinse its roots with clean water and put an appropriate amount of clean water in the vase. The clean water used here can be boiled water or tap water that has been dried in the sun. After preparation, put the ivy in the vase, and it will grow new roots after five to seven days.

2. When growing ivy in water, you can prepare a vase, put in an appropriate amount of clean water, and then add a small amount of potassium permanganate. Then cut fresh branches with aerial roots from the ivy branches and insert them directly into the vase. This can prevent the growth of bacteria and allow the ivy to take root quickly.
