Ivy is a large potted plant, which is particularly suitable for placing in a spacious hall. It looks particularly majestic and simple. It can also be cultivated in the courtyard.

How to grow ivy

1. The most suitable growth temperature for ivy is 20~25℃, so in summer, pay attention to ventilation, water more, and finally place it in a cool place. In winter, also pay attention to pre-cooling.

2. When the surface of the soil in the flowerpot becomes dry, add water in time, but don’t make it too wet to avoid root rot.

3. Fertilization should be reasonable and not blind. Fertilization is not necessary in summer and winter. Fertilizers are generally based on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

4. Prune the plant regularly. When it grows to a certain height, cut off the new side to allow it to branch. Otherwise, it will continue to grow and will not be so lush.

5. We can plant a few bamboos next to the ivy to allow it to grow freely.
