What are the cultivation methods for English ivy in summer?
The web tells everyone about the cultivation methods of English ivy in summer and the introduction of green plants for the living room that are easy to care for and cold-resistant. Next, the editor will provide you with a detailed explanation.
Do you still remember the English ivy potted plant experiment with Zheng's laundry detergent? At that time, it was planted as a young seedling, sparse when planted, but after a period of growth, it has now burst into bloom. Hanging down like this, it looks very beautiful. What's more, this English ivy can purify the air, so it's not a bad idea to have a pot at home.
The method of caring for this English ivy is also simple. Although English ivy is very shade-tolerant, we can still give it more sunlight in daily life. Apart from needing to provide shade in the summer, it can be maintained outdoors in other seasons, even in winter. English ivy can survive the winter outdoors in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, so there's no need to worry about frost damage. In other regions, it can be maintained outdoors as long as the temperature does not drop below -3 degrees Celsius. When indoors, try to place it in a place with plenty of scattered light.
The watering method for this English ivy is similar to that of pothos or Chinese evergreen. Water thoroughly when dry, and frequently mist to increase humidity, which can make the leaves greener. In the summer, as water evaporates quickly, we can often lift the pot to check its weight. If it feels lighter, it's time to water.
Since English ivy is a foliage plant and does not bloom, fertilizing it with a compound fertilizer or a fertilizer high in nitrogen can promote leaf growth and make the leaves greener and brighter. However, during the summer, due to the high maintenance temperature, the English ivy will enter a dormant state. We can apply some slow-release fertilizer on the surface of the potting soil to ensure a balanced supply of nutrients and avoid root burn.
During the maintenance process, it is common to encounter withered branches, especially in the summer when high temperatures can cause this condition if the plant is slightly dehydrated. Don't worry when this happens; just cut them off. Plants, including English ivy, have a metabolic process. After pruning, new branches will continue to grow.
The above are the cultivation methods for English ivy in summer and the experience and knowledge of easy-to-care-for and cold-resistant large green plants for the living room. I hope this article can be of some help to you!
