How can Parthenocissus tricuspidata grow fast? Does it shed its leaves in winter?

1. How to grow fast

1. Suitable environment: The growth rate of ivy is very fast. If the maintenance environment is suitable, it will grow faster. It likes to grow in a shady and humid environment, and it has no requirements for light. It can grow in sunlight or poor light. But if it is grown in cold areas, it is best to plant it in a sunny position.

2. Adequate nutrients: It can tolerate poor soil, but it will grow better using more fertile soil. When planting, you need to add sufficient organic fertilizer. Only when there is enough base fertilizer can it support its growth. In addition, top dressing should be carried out 2-3 times during the growing period, but concentrated fertilizer should not be used as it will cause fertilizer damage.

3. Replenish water: This plant has good drought resistance, but in order for it to grow faster, it also needs to replenish water. Generally, you don't need to water it too much, just water it thoroughly after the soil is dry. It is important to remember that this plant is afraid of stagnant water, so do not overwater it.

2. Do leaves fall in winter?

It is a deciduous plant and usually begins to lose its leaves gradually in winter, which is a normal phenomenon. The leaves of ivy do not change only in winter. The leaves will change color in autumn, usually turning yellow, and then start to fall off in winter.
