Go home and find a few disposable plastic cups with holes in the bottom instead of flowerpots. This kind of pot has several advantages: it holds less soil and its branches do not rot easily. Secondly, the cup is transparent, can clearly see the rooting situation, can be transplanted in time. and occupies a small area.

When changing soil, pot soil is best cultivated by mixing leaf soil, sand and garden soil. Time ends in spring and summer begins best. After that, it can be removed from the original pot and put into the new pot, but only if a layer of decomposed fertilizer is added to the bottom of the pot, and the roots that are too long and too dense are cut off with sterilized scissors. Next, sufficient water should be added, and then it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place. As soon as the new branches grow out, normal maintenance can begin. 2. Good conservation environment

Ivy, although a shade, can also be exposed to light throughout the day to allow the plant to undergo light effects. Then make sure the temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees, not more than 35 degrees, otherwise it will make the leaves yellow and grow stagnant. So wait until summer comes, need to let it avoid sun exposure, at this time not only to give it shade, but also to carry out appropriate cooling, and to ensure good ventilation, there is astigmatism, because if not light for a long time, its growth will be affected.

3. Keep humidity

It likes a humid environment, so it is very important to replenish water in time, especially in the vigorous growth period, but also to ensure the supply of water, because at this time the flower soil needs to be often moist, otherwise it will start to fall leaves. If the ground nearby is a little dry, spray water on the ground to increase humidity.

It prefers a warm environment, and the most suitable environment is 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. It is not able to endure sultry, and its ability to withstand cold is relatively strong, so we can put it in the room, in the summer to give it a wind, and winter to control its temperature above ten degrees, can not let it lower than five degrees.

2. Light

It prefers light, but it is also able to tolerate shade. So we can consider putting it in a semi-cool place, so that its internodes will be shorter, the leaves will grow more consistent, and the color will be more vivid. In spring and autumn, we can still let it see the sun in the morning and evening, and then choose a period of time to put it in a shady place, which can prevent direct sunlight, avoid sunburn, and make it grow very vigorously.
