How to raise ivy to be tender

Evergreen woody vine-ivy, Acanthopanax family ivy perennial climbing shrub, evergreen woody vine.

If you want to grow young ivy, you need to change the fertile humus every 1 to 2 years, and at the same time, you need to fertilize every 15 to 20 days during the vigorous spring and autumn period, and at the same time, you need to increase the air humidity and keep the air humidity between 50% and 60%. Five hours of light a day is needed to promote the growth of ivy.

Soil selection for Ivy Culture

The stem of ivy is soft and easy to pinch, and it can also be planted in pots. Use ordinary culture soil to pot, turn the basin and change the soil once every 2 years, always keep the basin soil moist, put it in shade or indoor display, do not fertilize too much, but strengthen ventilation to prevent the occurrence of scale insects.

Fertilization methods for Ivy Culture

Thin liquid fertilizer should be applied every 3 weeks during the spring and autumn growing season, and nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied to flower and leaf varieties in order to prevent the patterns and patches on the leaf surface from fading to green, and stop applying fertilizer in winter.

Ivy likes fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. However, if there is too much nitrogen fertilizer, it is easy to grow crazy, which is not conducive to the beautiful shape of the plant. When phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is insufficient, the markings on ivy leaves are easy to fade. In the growing season, young plants can be applied with 10 times of rotten liquid fertilizer and 500 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate every 15 days in the growing season.

The formed plants were topdressing with mixed liquid fertilizer once every 30 days. If the formed plant does not apply fertilizer in daily life, when it is found that the leaf color is yellowing, it can be sprayed with 1000 times urea solution for 2 times. When applying rotten liquid fertilizer, use a fine nozzle spray pot to stick to the basin along the edge of slow irrigation, do not splash liquid fertilizer on the leaves, otherwise it is easy to burn the leaves.

Watering method of Ivy Culture

Ivy likes moist soil and high air humidity, resistant to moisture and afraid of drought. After resuming growth in spring, the basin soil is in a moist state. The growing season of ivy should keep the basin soil moist. Because the indoor air humidity is relatively low, we should often sprinkle water to the ivy leaves and around to increase the air humidity. After the temperature drops at the end of autumn, the frequency of watering is slowly reduced, making the basin soil dry. When the temperature is low in winter, it is better to keep the basin soil dry.

Ivy likes to be wet, keep the basin soil moist during the growing season, and spray foliar water every day to make the air humidity up to 50% Murray 60%. Reduce watering times in winter, but not too dry.

Temperature requirements for Ivy Culture

The suitable temperature for growth is 18 ℃ 20 ℃, and the growth stops when the temperature is above 35 Mel. The leaves turn yellow. Ivy has strong cold tolerance and can withstand the low temperature of 2 Murray 3 ℃. Winter should be kept indoors. 0Murray 5 ℃ will not be hurt, and it is appropriate to use more than 10 ℃.

Light requirements of Ivy Culture

Ivy indoor maintenance requires adequate light, especially long-term indoor maintenance plants, should be placed in the south window as far as possible, so that more sunlight, so that the plant internodes are short, leaf shape is consistent, leaf color is bright, but avoid strong light exposure. Low temperature in winter is easy to cause plant defoliation, as long as the stem is not frozen, the next spring warm re-pruning, the lower part of the stem can produce new buds.
