Ivy cultivation methodIvy likes warm, humid, semi-sunny environment. The suitable growth temperature is between 16-27 degrees, 21-27 degrees from March to September, and 16-21 degrees from September to March of the following year. It can grow under high temperature conditions above 30 degrees. It is not cold-resistant and the winter temperature needs to be above 5 degrees. Ivy can grow in full sun, half sun or semi-shade environment, but insufficient sunlight will affect the color of the leaves and normal growth. The soil should be fertile, loose and well-drained sandy loam, which can be mixed with peat soil, leaf mold and coarse sand. Watering methodIvy likes a humid environment. Water it frequently in summer to keep the soil moist. Water it in time before it dries out. Also spray water around the plant. Water it twice a week in spring and autumn, and control the water appropriately in winter. Fertilization methodDuring the period of vigorous growth of ivy, its nutrient needs must be met. Therefore, some compound fertilizer or cake fertilizer water can be applied at intervals of 15-20 days from March to September. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently, and do not apply concentrated fertilizers or raw fertilizers. Pruning methodsIvy is prone to sprouting long branches, so they need to be pruned to promote the growth of side branches and improve the plant's ornamental value. Young plants should be thinned out and lightly pruned to reduce nutrient loss. Ivy cultivation precautionsIvy cannot tolerate strong light exposure and needs to be shaded in the summer to prevent exposure to the scorching sun. It is suitable for maintenance in bright scattered light. In winter, the light is soft and does not require shading. It can grow well as long as it receives more than 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. |
