What are the cultivation methods and precautions of green radish column

Introduction of Pothos column

The green ivy column is a vine plant and a variety of green ivy. It has strong climbing ability, many branches, and hanging branches. It can be allowed to climb and grow on the balcony fence. The leaves are alternate, ovate-oblong, and shiny. It can be propagated by cuttings, both stem cuttings and leaf cuttings.

How to cultivate the green radish column

The green ivy column likes a moist and dark growing environment, and does not like an environment with plenty of sunlight. Do not place it in direct sunlight. In spring, summer and autumn, you can keep it near the east or north window with good ventilation, and move it to the south window in winter. It has tenacious vitality and can survive when it encounters water. Usually, just keep the soil slightly moist.

The best maintenance temperature for the green radish column is around 20 degrees. It can safely survive the winter if the room temperature is above 10 degrees. It also needs to be fertilized every 10-15 days during the growing period. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently and do not apply concentrated fertilizers, otherwise fertilizer damage will affect the growth of the plant.

Watering method

The green ivy column likes a humid environment. It is usually necessary to water it in moderation to make the soil in the pot and the surrounding environment slightly moist. If the soil in the pot is relatively dry, the leaves will turn yellow. If it is watered too much, it will cause root rot due to water accumulation in the pot. The temperature is lower in winter, so watering needs to be controlled.

Fertilization method

Some base fertilizer can be applied to the green radish column before planting. You can choose slow-release fertilizers such as oil cake and bone meal. During the growing period, it needs to be applied with a thin liquid fertilizer once every 10-15 days. Appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied, and nitrogen fertilizers should not be applied exclusively.

Pruning methods

When the stems of the green ivy have climbed all over the brown column and are more than 20 cm long, they should be pruned in half. First, cut off about 40 cm of half of the stems and leaves, and then cut the other half after new leaves grow. The old leaves at the bottom also need to be cut off to reduce nutrient consumption.

Precautions for cultivation of green radish column

The green ivy column needs to be watered frequently to ensure humidity, and the leaves need to be sprayed frequently. It is not a plant that likes fertilizer. Generally, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once every half a month. Sprinkle a thin layer on the surface to promote the growth of green ivy. Timely pruning of branches that are too long and too thin can improve the ornamental value of the green ivy column.
