How to raise ivy can explode (the most popular climbing plant)

Ivy symbolizes longevity and youth, and is a commonly used decorative flower in weddings. It is more elegant to decorate the study when cultivated indoors. Raising ivy at home can only be green if it meets its needs for soil, temperature, light, water and fertilizer. Let's see how ivy is cultivated.

1. Land

Ivy is barren-resistant, has low requirements for soil, and is loose, fertile and moist. Although ivy is barren, it can't be cultivated in saline-alkali land. It is suggested that humus soil and garden soil should be mixed in equal proportion, or humus soil, fine sand and peat soil should be mixed with a small amount of base fertilizer to prepare culture soil.

2. Light and temperature

Ivy is more resistant to shade, so it needs to grow in a semi-shade environment and receive a small amount of sunlight in the morning and afternoon. The ivy cultivated in this way has the same leaf size, brighter leaf color and higher ornamental value. The suitable temperature for the growth of ivy is 20-25 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is high in summer, we should pay attention to ventilation, and the breeding temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

Watering and fertilizing

In the growing season of ivy, the soil is slightly wet and dry, and too wet soil will lead to root rot. The temperature in winter is low, so it is necessary to control the amount of watering, and the culture soil can be slightly wet. During the growth of plants, it is advisable to apply thin fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to meet the demand of plants for nutrients.
