Therefore, when placed in indoor maintenance, we should pay attention to ventilation and cooling in summer, and the room temperature in winter should be kept above IO-C, and the lowest should not be less than 5 ℃.

Ivy is light-loving and shade-tolerant. Under semi-light conditions, the internodes are shorter, the leaf shape is the same, and the leaf color is bright, so it is appropriate to culture in a bright indoor light.

The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be 1% and 1%. During the peak growing season, the leaves are sprayed with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate once or twice, which will make the leaves look more beautiful. However, attention should be paid to avoid contaminating the leaves when applying liquid fertilizer, so as not to cause the leaves to scorch.
