Therefore, when raising ivy indoors, we should pay attention to its ventilation and cooling in summer. In winter, it is best to keep the room temperature above 10 ℃, not less than 5 ℃, otherwise ivy is vulnerable to freezing damage.

3. Watering: ivy should not be watered too much at ordinary times, and it should be dry and wet in the growing season. The potted soil is too wet to cause rotting roots of plants. The temperature is low in winter and the growth of ivy is relatively slow. It is necessary to control watering and keep the basin soil slightly wet. Ivy is a foliage plant, in the northern winter climate is dry, it is best to spray the branches and leaves once a week with water close to room temperature to keep the leaves clean and green.

4. Fertilization: when families raise ivy, they can apply fertilizer appropriately. Do not apply fertilizer in summer and winter. During the peak growing season, thin cake fertilizer and water should be applied every 2-2 weeks, or 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the leaves, which will make the leaves more beautiful. However, it should be noted that when fertilizing, remember to apply nitrogen fertilizer, and do not stain the fertilizer liquid on the leaves, so as not to cause the leaves to scorch.
