With the increasing pursuit of life quality, indoor green plants have gradually become a favorite in home decoration. Ivy, as a common indoor ornamental leaf plant, is loved for its shade tolerance and rapid growth. Hydroponic ivy is even more favored by many plant enthusiasts for its simple maintenance and beautiful appearance. How to hydroponically cultivate ivy? Let's introduce the hydroponic ivy cultivation methods in detail.

Choose the right ivy variety

There are many varieties of hydroponic ivy, including Epipremnum aureum, Chlorophytum comosum, and Asparagus setaceus. When choosing hydroponic ivy, it is recommended to select varieties that grow quickly and have lush foliage, such as Epipremnum aureum. Epipremnum aureum has strong shade tolerance, is suitable for indoor maintenance, and shows significant results in hydroponics.

Prepare a hydroponic container

The container for hydroponic ivy can be a glass bottle, ceramic bottle, etc., and the size of the container should match the size of the ivy. The bottom of the container should have breathable holes to allow the roots to breathe.

Trim the roots

Remove the ivy from the soil and use scissors to cut off the dirt and withered roots, retaining the healthy roots. When pruning the roots, note that the length of the remaining roots should not be too long to avoid affecting the hydroponic effect.

Wash the roots

Place the pruned roots in clean water and soak them for a period of time to wash off the dirt and impurities. During the washing process, gently rub the roots to avoid damaging them.

Adjust the water level

Place the cleaned roots in the container and adjust the water level to half the length of the roots. Too high or too low water levels will affect the growth of the ivy.

Lighting and temperature

Hydroponic ivy does not require much light and can be placed in a place with plenty of scattered light. In the summer, when it is hot, it is appropriate to provide some shade to avoid direct sunlight. In the winter, when the temperature is low, it should be moved indoors for maintenance.

Change water and clean

Hydroponic ivy needs to have its water changed regularly, usually once a week. When changing the water, clean the roots and remove impurities. The container should also be cleaned regularly to keep it clean.

Fertilize

Hydroponic ivy can be fertilized with a liquid fertilizer such as "Flower More" water-soluble fertilizer. When fertilizing, dilute according to the proportions on the instructions, and fertilize once a month.

Prune and shape

Hydroponic ivy grows quickly and withered branches and leaves should be pruned in a timely manner to keep the plant tidy. It can also be shaped according to personal preferences, such as trimmed into a spiral or wavy shape.

Hydroponic ivy is a simple and easy-to-grow indoor green plant. As long as the correct cultivation method is mastered, it can easily create a fresh indoor greenery. It is hoped that the above introduction is helpful to everyone. Hydroponic ivy not only beautifies the home environment but also purifies the air, bringing greenery and health to our lives.
