Summer maintenance of ivy mosaic

For the maintenance of flower and leaf ivy in summer, it is the most suitable for flower and leaf ivy to grow at the temperature of 15-25 ℃. The hot and muggy climate in summer is very disadvantageous to the growth of ivy. When the outdoor temperature reaches more than 28 ℃, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated indoor place or outdoor semi-shady place. It must be insolated below 28 ℃.

If placed indoors for too long, the leaves are easy to fade, it is best to change the environment for a period of time to keep the leaf surface bright. Ivy is a perennial foliage vine. Usually should keep the basin soil moist, such as strong light and drought, leaf spots will fade and completely turn green. When the temperature rises to more than 32 ℃ from July to August in summer, the plant stops growing, and watering should be wet between dryness and dryness. At the same time, fertilization should be stopped to prevent the leaves from drying up. Maintaining air humidity is also one of the keys to the maintenance of ivy in summer.

In midsummer, water should be sprayed on the leaf surface and around the flowerpot for 2 or 3 times a day to reduce the temperature and increase the air humidity; the flowerpot can also be placed on a shallow plate filled with water and the bottom of the pot can be lifted with stones so that it does not come into direct contact with the water surface so as to create a suitable small environment for the growth of the plant. Scale insects are the main pests of flower and leaf ivy in summer, and ventilation should be strengthened when insect pests occur. A small number of insect pests can be cleaned with toothbrushes dipped in soapy water, and excessive omethoate can be sprayed with 1200 times of omethoate. The above is about the summer conservation of ivy.

Summer conservation of flower and leaf ivy

The hot and muggy climate in summer is very disadvantageous to the growth of ivy. At this time, we should avoid the hot sun and put the plant in a cool and ventilated place indoors, or in an outdoor semi-shade place, which can make the leaves brightly colored, bright green and lovely. It stops growing from July to August when the temperature rises above 30 ℃. At this time can not because of high temperature and frequent watering, to wait for the basin soil to dry and then watering, to achieve "dry wet", at the same time should stop fertilization, so as not to scorch the leaves. Maintaining air humidity is another key to summer maintenance. Spray water 2 to 3 times a day around leaves and potted flowers to lower the temperature and increase air humidity. Flowerpots can also be placed on pots that hold water, and flowerpots are held up with tiles to separate them from water to create a suitable small environment for plant growth. In the muggy climate in summer, mosaic ivy is prone to insect pests, mainly shell insects, especially on the back of leaves and petioles. Strengthening ventilation can reduce the occurrence of insect pests. If there are few pests, you can use an old toothbrush to clean it with soapy water. In the case of many pests, it can be sprayed with 40% omethoate 800 times solution, once every seven days, 2 to 3 times in a row, and the effect is remarkable.

Like to be warm, the suitable temperature for growth is 20: 25 ℃, the overwintering temperature is 5 ℃, the growing season should be well watered, and foliar spraying should be carried out frequently to make the environment moist. Pay attention to ventilation and shade in summer and change the basin every two years.

Flower and leaf ivy leaves have light green, dark green and milky white tricolor, color leaves changeable, more varieties.
