The latest culture methods of ivy

Ivy is a very popular indoor large potted flowers and trees, especially in the wider living room, study, living room display, elegant style, simple, and with southern flavor. It is a beautiful, regular and world-famous new generation of indoor foliage plants. Let's take a look at the culture methods of ivy.

The growing environment of ivy

Ivy is a negative vine, can also grow in full light environment, in warm and humid climate conditions grow well, not cold-resistant. Lax requirements on the soil, like moist, loose, fertile soil, not resistant to salt and alkali.

Often climb trees on the edge of the forest, roadsides under the forest, rocks and the walls of houses, and gardens are often cultivated.

Propagation methods of Ivy

1. Seed propagation

Ivy seed reproduction, as long as it refers to fruit ripe harvest, stacking after ripening, soaking and kneading, ghost seeds washed and dry, can be sowed, can also block wet sand storage, the following spring sowing, sowing after sowing soil 1cm, cover grass moisturizing. The seedlings were unearthed and shaded in a shed, and large seedlings were cultivated after transplanting or fixing seedlings in the spring of the second year.

2. Pry propagation

The method of ivy pry propagation is to use twigs with air roots to survive most in the growing season, close with plastic film arch shed after insertion, and shade to keep the space temperature 80% Mel 90%, but the bed soil should not be too wet so as not to rot the cuttings. It will take about 30 days to take root.

3. Striping propagation

The practice of ivy striping propagation is carried out in spring and autumn, using wavy striping method, after the buried part is cut around, it is very easy to take root, which is a relatively simple propagation method.

Culture methods of Ivy

1. The temperature should be suitable: ivy likes warmth, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃-25 ℃. It is afraid of heat and is not resistant to cold. Therefore, when placed in indoor maintenance, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling in summer, and the room temperature should be kept above 10 ℃ in winter, and the lowest should not be less than 5 ℃.

2. The light should be moderate: ivy is light-loving and shade-tolerant. When cultured under semi-light conditions, the internodes are shorter, the leaf shape is consistent, and the leaf color is bright, so it is appropriate to culture in bright indoor light. If you can put outdoor shade for a period of time in spring and autumn, so that you can see more sunshine in the morning and evening, then the vitality will be exuberant and the leaves will be green. However, we should pay attention to prevent the direct light, otherwise it is easy to cause sunburn.

3. 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. If the climate in northern China is dry in winter, it is best to spray Duchuan with water close to room temperature once a week to maintain air humidity, then the plant will look alive and the leaves will be green and shiny.

4. Fertilization should be reasonable: when ivy is cultivated at home, the basin soil should be composed of Sichuan rotten leaves or charcoal soil mixed with river sand and a small amount of bone powder, and thin pancake fertilizer and water should be applied once every two or three weeks in the growing season. Do not apply fertilizer in summer and winter. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing, otherwise, the patterns and patches on the leaves of mosaic varieties will fade to green. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be 1% and 1%. During the peak growing season, the leaves are sprayed with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate once or twice, which will make the leaves look more beautiful. However, attention should be paid to avoid contaminating the leaves when applying liquid fertilizer, so as not to cause the leaves to scorch.
