The stems of ivy are soft and easy to shape. But the premise of shaping is to select the right soil and promote the growth. Generally, the soil is changed once every 1-2 years. Half of the soil is changed when the basin is turned over. The common culture soil can keep the soil moist all the time.
Ivy likes a warm and humid environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is 20 ℃ - 25 ℃. It can't stand the sultry environment and cold. Therefore, the plant should be placed indoors during maintenance. In summer, pay attention to ventilation and cooling. In winter, control the temperature above 10 ℃ and no less than 5 ℃.
Ivy likes light and can tolerate shade. When it is cultured under half light, the internode is shorter, the shape of leaves is consistent, and the color of leaves is bright. Therefore, it should be cultured under bright indoor light. In spring and autumn, you can choose to put it in the outdoor shade for a period of time. If you see light in the morning and evening, the plants will be very vigorous and the leaves will be green and colorful. But we should pay attention to prevent direct sunlight, otherwise it is easy to cause sunburn.
In the growing season, watering should be dry and wet, and the basin soil should not be excessively wet, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots and leaves. In winter, the room temperature is low, especially the watering should be controlled to keep the basin soil slightly wet. It is dry in winter in North China. It is best to spray duchuan once a week with clean water close to the room temperature to keep the air humidity, so that the plant will be lively and the leaves will be green and glossy.
In the growing season of ivy, the thin cake fertilizer and water were applied once every 2-3 weeks. Generally, do not fertilize in summer and winter. When applying fertilizer, do not apply nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise, the patterns and plaques on the leaves of flower and leaf varieties will fade to green. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 1; 1; 1.
In order to make it grow up, add infinite interest to the beautification of the living room space, or for the cultivation of hanging basin, the soft branches and stems are naturally drooping and floating, natural and unrestrained to the extreme, and integrated into the enjoyment of the eternal joy of the four seasons. Therefore, it is a rare leaf ornament in the modern living room, audition, performance plug and other places. The basin is usually changed every other year or two.
After sprouting in spring, the newly planted plants were coring to promote their branching. The pruning of perennial plants should be strengthened, and dead branches, weak branches and disease and insect branches should be cut off.
The leaves of ivy are often sprayed on the family to keep the air from drying, causing the leaves to become brown.
