Now many people like to raise some flowers and plants at home to decorate the room. Ivy is one of our common foliage potted plants at home. Its leaves are unique in shape, green in color, evergreen in four seasons, and very easy to maintain. Loved and sought after by everyone. So how to maintain and manage the Ivy potted plants? Next, let's learn about it with the editor.

How to grow potted ivy

1. Choose the right soil.

The stems of ivy are soft and easy to shape. But the premise of shaping is to select the right soil and promote growth. Usually, the basin is changed once every two years, and half of the soil is changed when turning the basin. Ordinary cultivated soil can be used to keep the soil moist at all times.

2. The temperature should be suitable.

Ivy likes the warm and humid environment, the most suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃-25 ℃, can not stand the muggy environment, and cold-resistant, so in the maintenance, we should put the plant indoors, pay attention to ventilation and cooling in summer, and control the temperature above 10 ℃ in winter, not less than 5 ℃.

3. Appropriate amount of light

Ivy is light-loving and shade-tolerant, but when cultured under semi-light conditions, the internodes are shorter, the leaf shape is the same, and the leaf color is bright, so it is appropriate to culture in a bright indoor light. In the spring and autumn, you can choose to put it in the outdoor shade for a period of time, in the morning and evening to see some light, the plant will be very exuberant, the leaves are green. However, we should pay attention to prevent the direct light, otherwise it is easy to cause sunburn.

4. Watering should be moderate

Watering in the growing season should be dry and wet, and the basin soil should not be too wet, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots and fallen leaves. The room temperature is low in winter, especially to control watering and keep the basin soil slightly wet. The northern winter climate is dry, it is best to spray Duchuan once a week with water close to room temperature, in order to maintain air humidity, the plant appears alive, the leaf color is green and shiny.

Methods and matters needing attention in Ivy Culture

1. Change the basin and soil at the right time

When changing the soil, the basin soil had better be cultivated with a mixture of leaf soil, sand and garden soil. Time is best at the end of spring and the beginning of summer. After that, it can be taken out of the original basin and loaded into the new basin, but the premise is to add a layer of rotten fertilizer to the bottom of the basin, and use sterilized scissors to cut off the roots that are too long and too dense, and then add sufficient water. Then put it in a ventilated and cool place, and as soon as the new branches grow out, you can begin normal maintenance.

2. Good maintenance environment

Although ivy is negative, it can also be illuminated all day to allow the plant to act on light. Then make sure that the temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees, not more than 35 degrees, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and the growth will stagnate. So when summer comes, we need to keep it from the sun, not only to shade it, but also to cool it properly, and to ensure good ventilation and astigmatism, because if there is no light for a long time, its growth will be affected.

3. Maintain humidity

It likes a humid environment, so timely rehydration is very important, especially in the peak 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 begin to shed leaves. If the ground nearby is a little dry, spray water on the ground to increase humidity.

4. Reasonable fertilization

If you want it to burst smoothly, nutrition is indispensable, and the best way to get nutrition is to fertilize it. Especially in the growing period, it is necessary to ensure that the fertilizer is applied once every 15 days, but we should pay attention to that the fertilizer is not too thick, it needs to be diluted properly with water, and the fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer. But if it is a hot summer or cold winter, you need to stop fertilizing, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

5. Points for attention

The newly planted plants are coring after sprouting in spring to promote their branching. Perennial plants should be pruned and cut off dead branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches.

The foliage of ivy is often sprayed during family care to avoid drying the air and causing the leaf tip to be brown and withered.

How to prune ivy

When trimming, you must not be distressed, and certainly not too ruthless. Restore the plant to its original appearance, cut it short properly, and keep the scissors as beautiful as you think. Ivy is very resilient, so you don't have to worry that cutting off its branches and leaves will endanger its life.

When pruning, you should first cut off the dead or damaged branches (see that the damaged branches can be carried out at any time), and then cut off the branches that affect beauty. In short, make sure that the ivy is beautiful, not so neatly cut, but scattered all over the place.

Another effective way to control the crazy growth of plants is to pick the heart, pick the heart of the absolute ivy in the spring, remove part of the new buds and inhibit its growth. Later pruning is more convenient.

Ivy florescence

Ivy is an evergreen vine and should be capable of flowering. The flowering period is usually in autumn, and the flowering period is longer, of course, with luck, the flowering period will last until spring. When each inflorescence has a flower, the flower is small, white-green or light yellow, with a faint fragrance. If you have a pot of ivy that has been tied up for several years, the flowers are distributed from top to bottom when they bloom, ranging from 5 to 40, which is very beautiful.

Through the above content, I believe you have a certain understanding of Ivy pot conservation and management skills. Although ivy is very easy to raise, we should also pay attention to daily management skills. Ivy is not only beautiful but also has a very high air purification effect, so it is very suitable to be used as a household potted plant.
