As a domestic ornamental flower is quite suitable, of course, the most important point, its cultivation process is relatively simple, and we do not need to have too much operation.

Ivy is easy to cultivate and likes to grow in a hot environment. Keep the soil and air in the flowerpot moist during the growing period. Dry water can be seen in other seasons. The temperature of cultivation is about 16 to 25 degrees and should be well ventilated. Especially when placed indoors, it is necessary to maintain the humidity of the air. To control moisture in winter, you can make the basin soil dry.

Soil, the selectivity of ivy to soil is not strong, but it is better to cultivate sandy soil rich in humus, which is rich in humus and has good drainage and permeability. It is best not to use alkaline soil which is easy to be hardened.

Light, ivy likes plenty of light, shade-resistant. Suitable for placing in a sunny environment. Avoid the scorching sun. It should be placed in the Chaoyang ventilated place at ordinary times and can be shaded if necessary. Prevent the branches and leaves from being damaged by the hot sun. Indoor display can be placed in the south of the sunny windowsill, more exposure to the sun, so that the reasonable growth of branches and leaves. The branches and leaves are luxuriant.

Pour through the water and put it in a sunlit place to gradually reduce the amount of water. If you control the temperature, you can take root and sprout and transplant into the flowerpot in a month or so.

Pruning and plastic surgery, ornamental bonsai should be added to the bracket to make the ivy climb in a certain range. After sprouting in spring, wiping buds and coring to promote its branch growth, the growing period should be constantly pruned to promote the growth and development of its branches and leaves. Gradually trimmed into your favorite vertical bonsai. Hanging bonsai requires branches and leaves to droop naturally. Cut off the sick and weak branches of the overdense branches, leaving some strong branches and wiping the buds at any time to promote the development of the side branches, forming a bonsai with branches and leaves drooping and elegant and full of movement.
