Culture methods of Ivy

Select the soil, pot, pay attention to keep the pot soil moist. Then strengthen ventilation to prevent the occurrence of scale insects; each topdressing should be added according to the growth situation, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. Ivy is resistant to water and moisture and is afraid of drought. in addition to watering, it can also sprinkle water around the plant to increase air humidity.

Culture methods of Ivy

1. Soil

The stem of ivy is soft and easy to pinch, and it can also be planted in pots. Use ordinary culture soil on the basin, turn the basin and change the soil once a year, 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.

2. Fertilization

Thin liquid fertilizer should be applied every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and autumn growing season, and nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied in flower and leaf varieties, so as to avoid the pattern and patch on the leaf surface fade to green, and stop fertilization 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.

3. Watering

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.
