How to grow the five-colored trabecula

1. The main vine grows upwards

Ilex quinquefolia is a vine plant. It is actually quite simple to make it grow thicker. As long as the main vine maintains a clear advantage and grows upward without tilting, it is best to provide a suitable growth environment. It likes light and providing sufficient light can make it grow stronger and help it grow thicker.

2. Shortening of side branches

If you want the ivy to grow thicker, in addition to ensuring that the main vine grows upward, you also need to shorten the side branches to reduce the absorption of nutrients, so that more nutrients can be concentrated on the main vine. But it won’t grow thick immediately, it will take a few years. During this period, all that needs to be done is pruning and careful maintenance.
