Choose the right ivy variety

Ivy has many varieties, common ones are green ivy, purple ivy, golden ivy, etc. When choosing, you should choose according to your personal preferences and indoor environment. Green ivy leaves are green and suitable for placement in sunny places; purple ivy leaves are purplish red and suitable for placement in places with weak light.

Soil selection and preparation

Ivy is not strict with soil, but loose, breathable and well-drained soil is preferred. You can choose to mix decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand in proportion, and the soil pH value should be slightly acidic to neutral.

Light and temperature

Ivy prefers a semi-shady environment and avoids direct sunlight. During the breeding process, the盆景 should be kept away from strong sunlight. Indoors, the盆景 can be placed near the window to allow sunlight to shine through the window.

The optimal temperature for ivy growth is between 15℃ and 25℃, and the temperature in winter should not be lower than 5℃. In the hot summer season, appropriate shading should be provided, ventilation should be maintained, and the plant should be prevented from withering.

Watering and fertilizing

Ivy prefers a humid environment but should not accumulate water. Watering should follow the principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet", keeping the soil slightly moist. During the peak growing period, a compound fertilizer can be applied once a month to promote plant growth.

Pruning and shaping

Ivy grows fast and should be pruned in time to maintain a beautiful plant shape. During the growing process, excess branches can be cut off to maintain good ventilation and light conditions. Ivy can also be shaped according to personal preferences, such as cliff-style, climbing-style, etc.

Pest and disease control

During the cultivation of ivy, common pests and diseases include aphids and red spiders. When pests and diseases are found, timely measures should be taken. Insecticides can be sprayed, and ventilation should be strengthened to reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.

The cultivation method of ivy盆景 is simple and easy to learn. By mastering the key points of soil, light, temperature, watering, fertilizing, and pruning, you can easily cultivate a green ivy盆景.
