How to grow ivy How to grow ivy

Ivy is evergreen all year round. It is a beautiful foliage plant and a favorite of many flower lovers. It has strong vitality, elegant appearance, can purify the air and beautify the environment. But how should this beautiful plant be raised? I will write down its cultivation method in a while, and you will understand it after reading it.

1. Suitable temperature

If you want to grow ivy well, you must control the temperature of the breeding environment, because ivy likes a warm environment, and it grows fastest when the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. But ivy is afraid of both heat and cold, so it should be placed in a warm room for breeding, and attention should be paid to indoor ventilation. The room temperature in winter must not drop below ten degrees.

2. Moderate light

Many people know that ivy is a shade-loving plant. When cultivating it, most people like to put it in a cool environment. However, they do not know that ivy also needs moderate sunlight during its growth process. Only by being exposed to moderate sunlight can its leaves have uniform shape and bright green color, and can it have a higher ornamental value.

3. Do not overwater

Many people think that if they water ivy more, it will grow faster. In fact, this idea is wrong. In different seasons, ivy has different requirements for water. In its growing season, you can water it every three days to keep the soil moist, but do not allow water to accumulate in the pot, otherwise it will cause root rot and leaf fall. When the temperature drops in winter, the growth of ivy will slow down, and the demand for water will decrease. It should be watered every 7 to 10 days, and the soil should be kept slightly moist.

4. Apply fertilizer correctly

Fertilizing is also an important step in growing ivy. After it enters the peak growth season, it has a relatively large demand for fertilizer. It should be fertilized every two weeks. The fertilizer should be decomposed thin cake fertilizer. Fertilization should be stopped after entering summer and winter. In addition, when fertilizing ivy, nitrogen fertilizer must not be used, otherwise it will cause a large number of yellow spots to appear on its leaves, and in severe cases, the leaves will fall off.
