Ivy propagation methods
Below is a detailed introduction for netizens on how to propagate Ivy, the knowledge of Ivy propagation methods. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
Ivy is evergreen, has beautiful leaves, can be planted as a climbing plant, and can also be potted alone. It is a naturally beautiful vine plant. Ivy does not have high requirements for the growing environment and is a very easy-to-care-for plant. Its propagation can be carried out by cutting or layering, among which the cutting method is more commonly used.
1. Cutting Time
Ivy prefers a warm environment and it is best to propagate in April to May in spring or August to September in autumn when the temperature is about 20 degrees. Under suitable temperature conditions, the survival rate is relatively high.
2. Cutting Steps
Before propagating, prepare a loose and breathable sandy soil with good drainage.珍珠岩 can be used as a substrate. Water the soil moderately before propagating to keep it moist, and use tools such as chopsticks to make a hole of appropriate size in the soil.
Cut a healthy branch about 30 centimeters long from the Ivy mother plant, ensuring that the leaves are intact and the branch is free of diseases and pests. After cutting, wrap the wound of the branch with a paper towel to prevent excessive evaporation of moisture from the wound.
When propagating Ivy, place the branch into the hole that has been prepared in the soil, then slightly compact the soil around the Ivy, water it once to keep the substrate moist, and place it in a place with diffused light for maintenance.
3. Maintenance
After the Ivy has been propagated, place it in a semi-shaded area and water it every two days. After a week, the frequency of watering can be gradually reduced. Water it only when the soil is dry, keeping the room temperature between 15-20 degrees Celsius. This temperature range is very suitable for the growth of Ivy. In about 15-20 days, Ivy will take root and sprout.
The above sharing on how to propagate Ivy and the complete introduction of Ivy propagation methods are for everyone to learn and understand!
