Temperature control
Ivy likes warmth, and its growth temperature is 20℃-25℃. It is afraid of heat and not cold. Therefore, when placed indoors for maintenance, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling in summer, and the room temperature should be kept above 10℃ in winter, and the minimum should not be lower than 5℃.
rational application of fertilizer
When planting ivy at home, the pot soil can be mixed with humus soil or charcoal soil 1/4 river sand and a small amount of bone powder, and 1 double pancake fertilizer can be applied for 2-3 weeks in the growing season. Generally, fertilization is not required in Xia Dong season, so be careful not to choose nitrogen fertilizer when applying fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, we should also be careful not to stain the leaves, so as not to cause them to burn.
Soil:
Ivy has no strict requirements on soil, and generally soil can grow. But if potted, the pot soil can be mixed with pastoral soil, 1/4 plant ash, and a small amount of base fertilizer. The selection of plant ash can not only keep the pot soil loose and breathable, but also provide more potash fertilizer to meet the growth of ivy. Ivy can be applied with liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season, or with granular chemical fertilizer once a month. For mosaic varieties, the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer should not be too high to avoid the mosaic turning green.
moisture
Pay attention to watering during the growth period, and give water when the soil is dry, but pay attention to the amount of water and don't let the basin soil get too wet. When the temperature is low in winter, water should be controlled as long as it is not too dry.
water
Ivy is easy to lose leaves at the base of plants with insufficient water, and it is easy to rot roots when watered too much. You can choose to water in the morning or at night to avoid the big difference between soil temperature and water temperature, which will lead to root injury and eventually lead to plant withering and death. In winter, put it in a greenhouse for wintering, and keep the air humidity indoors, not too dry, but the pot soil should not be too wet.
Matters needing attention in ivy cultivation
1. Ivy should be kept moist and warm during the breeding process. You can put it indoors in summer, but you should spray water in time. After entering the cold weather in winter, you should move indoors in time to reduce the water supply. In addition, attention should also be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and pests in the cultivation of ivy. After the occurrence of diseases and pests, attention should be paid to ventilation and timely spraying to prevent the spread of diseases and pests.
2. Avoid too much sunlight and accurately control the temperature. And reasonable construction to ensure its vigorous development.
3. In the case of light, ivy can grow better in a warm and humid state, but the cold tolerance of ivy is not very good, so it needs to be kept warm.
