Green Ivy Planting Methods and Techniques
For many girls, learning about the planting methods and techniques of green ivy and simple and efficient cultivation tips can be very helpful. Let's take a look together.
Green ivy is a very common flower that is easy to grow. It has lush, shiny green leaves and is prone to overgrowing. Some friends even have green ivy covering their walls, which is very beautiful. However, some friends struggle to grow green ivy well, with yellowing leaves and sometimes root rot. Green ivy is actually very easy to grow; with just five tips, it can thrive and fill a pot. Let's take a look!

Tip One: Watering Has Its Techniques
Green ivy is an easy-to-grow flower that loves water and fertilizer and is highly adaptable. However, friends should not think that because green ivy loves water, they should water it excessively. If the soil is constantly moist, it can lead to root rot. You should feel the soil of the green ivy; only water when it's dry. If the soil is still relatively moist, do not water it, as this can cause root rot and yellow leaves.
The humid growth environment of green ivy requires not only watering but also regular misting to increase air humidity, making the green ivy's branches and leaves more vigorous. Along with watering, it's best to fertilize green ivy. Fertilize once or twice a month as green ivy is a flower that likes fertilizer. Without enough fertilizer, the leaves can turn yellow. With sufficient fertilizer, it grows quickly and loves to climb. Generally, fertilizing is safe in spring and autumn. In the summer, when temperatures are very high, and in winter, when temperatures are very low, it's best to stop fertilizing to avoid fertilizer damage.
In suitable temperatures, friends can water green ivy more and fertilize it appropriately, without letting the potting soil become too dry. Only with adequate water and fertilizer can green ivy grow faster. Fertilizers like rice water, fruit peel water, aquarium water, beer water, compound fertilizer, and slow-release fertilizer are all good for the flowers. Remember to apply thin layers of fertilizer frequently to avoid fertilizer damage.
In addition, since green ivy is an ornamental leaf plant, fertilizing should focus on nitrogen. You can use some urea or other high-efficiency fast-acting fertilizers. Urea is affordable and easily available at agricultural supply stores, and it's unlikely to buy fake products. Just a little bit of urea can make green ivy grow rapidly. However, be sure to dilute it, as it's easy to cause fertilizer damage. Often dilute it to about 1000 times and water the plants. You can put two urea tablets in a mineral water bottle, shake well, and use it to water the plants.

Tip Two: Soil Usage Has Its Techniques
When growing green ivy, it's essential to use loose and breathable soil. Green ivy loves water, and the soil can be slightly moist, but the soil must be loose and breathable. If the soil is compact and heavy, it can also cause root rot. Often use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, coconut fiber, and perlite as the growing medium, which has excellent drainage and water retention, providing green ivy with a very good growing environment.
