The requirement of ivy on soil is not very strict. It can be cultivated with common soil. But every 1 - 2 years to give it a change of soil, to ensure that the soil nutrients.

Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of ivy is 18-20 ℃, and when the temperature is over 35 ℃, it will stop growing. In winter, we need to adjust the temperature to above 10 ℃, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, otherwise it is easy to be damaged by freezing.

5. Precautions

1. Trim in time. After a period of cultivation, Ivy may grow more luxuriant. At this time, we need to cut the leaves in time, control the number of leaves, improve the nutrient intake of single leaf, and ensure that the leaves are glossy.
