Ivy was originally a climbing plant that grew under the forest. There are many wild ivy under the forest on the mountain here, so ivy has strong shade tolerance. However, the wild ivy leaves are large, the leaf color is single, only dark green, and the leaf spacing is long, so the ornamental value is not as good as that of artificial cultivation.
Ivy is a kind of ornamental plant, which is easy to maintain. With a little maintenance, it can easily burst into a basin and grow into a waterfall. Only the following points should be paid attention to during the maintenance of Ivy: 1. The soil for planting ivy is sandy humus soil, which is fertile, sandy, well drained and the plants grow vigorously. I planted ivy with humus and half river sand, and it grew well. The top basin of the flower stand on the north balcony at home looks like a waterfall. Because the place is small and the vines have nowhere to grow, I often trim some and throw them away.
2. Ivy is resistant to shade, but it also likes light. It is best to maintain the environment with strong light, and there is no problem without direct light. When the growing environment of ivy is bright, the leaves are dark and bright dark green, and when the light is weak, the leaves are bright and light green. Ivy can't be in a dark environment for a long time, for example, the bathroom is not well lit and should not be placed for a long time;
3, Ivy likes humid environment, the growth environment can not be too dry, you can often spray water around to humidify. Therefore, ivy should not be kept in a dry environment such as a bedroom;
4, ivy is not drought-tolerant, and the basin soil should be kept moist all the year round, but it cannot accumulate water. Potted soil is dry, even if it is not dry, it should be watered in time;
5. Ivy likes high humidity and high humidity, and it doesn't need protection in summer. As long as it's not exposed to the sun, it's okay. Ivy has a strong cold tolerance, and there is no problem in wintering safely at a temperature above -5℃.
Summary: Ivy has strong vitality, high temperature resistance, high humidity and cold resistance, and the light intensity has little effect on its growth, so it is very suitable for indoor cultivation. These are my personal views and opinions. I hope I can help you and wish you happiness!
