It is a beautiful, regular and world-famous new generation of indoor foliage plants. How do you raise ivy? The editor will introduce the culture method of ivy to you today.

[Ivy habits]

Ivy originated in Europe, like warm, humid and semi-shady environment, more cold-resistant, the most avoid high temperature, dry environment, more shade-resistant, but also can grow in sufficient sunlight, afraid of strong sun exposure, it is appropriate to loose and fertile loam. The optimum growth temperature is between 25 and 30 ℃. It can survive the winter safely above 0 ℃ in winter. It has strong cold tolerance and can withstand a short-3 ℃ low temperature. The leaves will show red in cold areas, so it is best to survive the winter indoors. Like the light is also more resistant to shade.

[how to raise ivy]

1. The temperature should be suitable. Ivy likes warmth, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃-25 ℃. It is afraid of heat and is not resistant to cold. 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 ℃.

2. The light should be moderate. 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.

3. Appropriate watering. Watering in the growing season should be dry and wet, and the basin soil should not be too wet, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots and fallen leaves. The room temperature is low in winter, especially to control watering and keep the basin soil slightly wet.

4. Rational fertilization. In order to cultivate ivy in the family, the basin soil should be composed of Sichuan rotten leaves or charcoal soil mixed with river sand and a small amount of bone powder, and thin pancake fertilizer and water should be applied once every 2-3 weeks in the growing season. Do not apply fertilizer in summer and winter. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing, otherwise, the patterns and patches on the leaves of mosaic varieties will fade to green. However, attention should be paid to avoid contaminating the leaves when applying liquid fertilizer, so as not to cause the leaves to scorch.

Ivy is not difficult to grow, just to master its characteristics: Ivy is a typical negative vine, can not be exposed to bright light, hot and muggy climate, is very disadvantageous to the growth of ivy, when the temperature rises above 30 ℃ from July to August, it stops growing. At this time, we should not water frequently because of the high temperature. We should wait for the basin soil to dry before watering, so that it is "dry and wet".

At the same time, fertilization should be stopped in the high temperature season to prevent the leaves from scorching. Now is the peak season for plant growth, especially ivy, so it requires more water, requires a lot of water and fertilizer to grow quickly, many leaves are withered and yellow, and the weight of the pot is obviously lighter, which fully shows that there is too little watering and the plant is dried to death. You must pour more water. As long as there is no stagnant water in the basin, you can't say there is too much water.
