Give the ivy a new pot for a cool summer

Many people like to raise some green plants, especially now the temperature is getting higher and higher, this fresh plant is not only easier to raise than those flowering plants, but also looks very fresh at home, so, what Huahua recommends to everyone today is ivy, which is easy to grow.

When it comes to ivy, you must be very familiar with it. Its leaves are very characteristic and green all the year round, especially when the branches hang down, no matter where they are at home. Of course, the most important thing in choosing it is that it is easy to maintain!

When we go to buy ivy, we should pay attention to its leaves and check to see if there are any yellow leaves attracting insects. Because it is a typical foliage plant, which is directly related to its growth, it is best to change its pot after buying it, so that it can not only check its root system, but also let it adapt to the new home environment as soon as possible.

Be sure not to water the plant before changing the basin, because it can protect the root system of the plant. As long as the soil is soft, we can gently lift the plant with our hands and take it out of the basin. But if the soil is too hard, we need to pry it along the edge of the flowerpot with tools to be careful not to hurt its roots.

After taking it out, we'd better clean up the original soil, expose its roots, and then see if there is any blackening and decay, if so, cut it off, and then soak it in disinfection solution for a period of time. Take it out and put it in a ventilated place to dry before planting it in a new basin, otherwise the root will continue to rot in the later stage.

Because ivy is a very fast-growing plant, we can choose a flowerpot that can be hung up, so that its branches will hang down and the aesthetic effect will be greatly enhanced. when planting, we have to hold the plant while filling the soil. After filling it, gently compact the soil with your hands. Finally, we will water it thoroughly!

After planting, we should check the growth of the branches and find that there are yellow and dry leaves. We should immediately cut them off with scissors. If we think the branches are too long and messy, we can also use scissors to clean them up.

By the way, we should not waste the cut branches. We can cut them up. Both hydroponic culture and soil cultivation are OK. Remember, during this period of time when it takes root, don't pull it up often because you are in a hurry. In this way, even if you have roots, you will be hurt and lost by this action.

Then we have to put the ivy in a warm and ventilated place so that it can come into contact with the sun without all shade, just pay attention to the bright light in summer. Because of a certain amount of light, it will not make its branches grow long and thin, and its leaves will become more oily.

If you don't need much watering, just keep the soil moist. You can often spray water on its leaves with a spray can, which not only increases air humidity and is conducive to growth, but also maintains the brightness of the leaves so as not to let dust block its light.

Because it has just changed the basin, it is in the recovery period, so it is not recommended to fertilize it, otherwise it is easy to cause the leaves to wilt. It is enough that we can give it a nutrient solution once in a while in the spring and autumn.
