How often should I water my ivy?

Ivy is a common ornamental plant that has a high demand for water. If it lacks water, it will grow poorly, but the soil in the pot should not be waterlogged. Just water it according to the dryness and wetness of the soil.

How often you need to water ivy depends on the changes in seasons. There is no fixed time. Just keep the soil at a certain humidity.

1. Watering in spring

Ivy grows very fast in spring, so it needs to be watered sufficiently. Generally, it needs to be watered once every 1-2 days.

2. Watering in summer

The environment is very hot in summer. If the weather is dry, you can water the ivy once in the morning and once in the evening, but be careful not to let water accumulate in the potting soil.

3. Watering in autumn

The climate in autumn is more suitable, but the temperature has gradually dropped. At this time, you only need to water the ivy once every 2-3 days, and adhere to the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry.

4. Watering in winter

Ivy is not very cold-resistant and grows very slowly in winter. Generally, it only needs to be watered once a week. Also, be careful not to let the water temperature be too low.

What kind of water is good for ivy?

There are many types of water suitable for watering ivy, among which rainwater and snow water are the best. If you grow it at home, you can also use tap water for watering, but it should be placed in the sun for 2-3 days before use.
