Ivy breeding methods and precautions
Due to its elegant climbing form and evergreen characteristics, ivy has become a popular green plant for indoor and outdoor decoration. If you want to cultivate healthy and lush ivy, it is crucial to master scientific maintenance methods. This article will systematically explain its growth needs from environmental regulation to daily management. Ivy growth environment regulation light intensity control plan ivy needs to scatter light for 4-6 hours a day and can be placed on east-facing windowsill or balcony shaded area. In summer, you need to use a sunshade net to filter strong light from 11:00 to 15:00, and in winter, you can accept full sunshine. Insufficient light can cause internodes to lengthen and pale leaves. Coordinated management of temperature and humidity maintains a suitable temperature of 18-25℃ for growth and no lower than 8℃ in winter. Maintain air humidity of 50%-65% through spray humidification, spray once in the morning and evening in hot seasons, and pay attention to avoid leaf area water. Humidifiers are recommended for the northern heating season. The scientific watering mode adopts the principle of "seeing dry and wet" for daily maintenance of ivy. It is watered thoroughly every 3 days in spring and autumn, once a day in the morning and evening in summer, and 7-10 days in winter. Use slightly acidic water with pH 6.0 -6.5 to collect rainwater or leave tap water to rest. Nutrient replenishment strategy Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers (20-20-20) every half month during the growth period and stop fertilization during the dormant period. It is recommended to use decomposed soybean cake water or special liquid fertilizer for leaf-viewing plants, which needs to be watered with water immediately after fertilization. Management skills in special periods. Operation specifications for basin replacement every 1-2 years in the spring, and choose a pottery basin that is 5 cm larger than the original basin. Matrix formula: 4 parts of legus soil +2 parts of perlite +1 part of vermiculite +0.5 parts of bone meal. After changing pots, place them in a cool place to slow down for 2 weeks. Pest and insect pest control regularly inspect the back of leaves to prevent red spiders. When pests are found, they will be diluted and sprayed immediately with azedra oil. (T-J) disease can be prevented and controlled with 800 times solution of mancozeb, and ventilation conditions can be improved at the same time. Shape design and landscape application can be guided by brackets to form screen-style, column-style and other shapes. It can be combined with green radish and spider plants to create a three-dimensional green wall. It is recommended to hang it indoors on the top of the bookcase to form a natural waterfall effect.
Through systematic maintenance and management, ivy can not only purify the air, but also add natural vitality to the living room. By regularly observing the condition of the plant and adjusting the maintenance plan in time, this green spirit can continue to be revitalized.
