Tired of watching green baskets to grow Swedish ivy, which is equally easy to feed.

When it comes to the functions of exuberant vitality, good feeding, shade tolerance and formaldehyde absorption, many people will think of green pineapple. Indeed, green pineapple has now become a very popular indoor green plant. However, what I would like to introduce today is that it has the same characteristics as the green pineapple, and it is even easier to feed than the green pineapple. The growth rate can be described as "crazy growth". The Swedish ivy with thick green leaves. The first time I saw Swedish ivy was in a colleague's office. The round dark green leaves hung down the vine and were instantly powdered by her. My colleague gave me three branches, and I planted them as she said, and now they have grown into two huge pots. Now let me introduce my planting experience.

First, growth habits. Swedish Ivy prefers a warm, humid environment. More shade-resistant, like to have bright light, put in a place where the sun is scattered, the sun looms, but can not let the sun shine directly, after excessive exposure, the leaves will turn yellow, the stem will turn red, and become unattractive. Swedish ivy has no special requirements for soil, the general soil can grow well.

Second, maintenance. The soil should always be kept moist and watered when the temperature is high in summer. At the same time, you can spray water with a spray can to keep the leaves clean and the air moist. Reduce watering appropriately in winter. Fertilizing once or twice a month, the fertilizer I use is an ordinary compound fertilizer, which is mixed with water and poured directly into the soil.

Third, cuttage. Swedish ivy cuttings are very easy. It can be inserted directly into the soil and placed in a cool place, and it will take root in a week or so. After taking root, put it in a place where the sun is scattered. Can also be hydroponic culture, hydroponic root and then transplant, or direct hydroponic growth. I prefer hydroponics to take root and then grow in soil. Watching the branches grow a little bit has a sense of achievement, while the soil grows better.

Fourth, points for attention. First, pay attention to "topping" in the process of growth, which will produce a lot of lateral buds. Second, because of the rapid growth of Swedish ivy, so the aging is also very fast, if you really like it like me, you can cut new branches for about a year and a half to prevent "green and yellow".

Because I have always been in the habit of giving license plates to flowers and plants, two pots of Swedish ivy have been photographed since the beginning. You can refer to the following. At this stage, I moved from my dormitory to my new home, so the background of the picture you see will be different.
