When it comes to plants that can purify the air, most people first think of Epipremnum aureum and Chlorophytum comosum. In fact, in addition to these, there is another plant that not only purifies the air but is also much easier to care for than Epipremnum aureum and Chlorophytum comosum, and that is Ivy.
Ivy is a very tough and easy-to-care-for plant, with leaves that stay green all year round and a very unique leaf shape. With proper care techniques at home, it can grow into a large area within a year. For example, this pot of Ivy owned by Xiao Zheng was a small pot purchased last year. After potting and transplanting, it has grown a lot after a year of care, and the branches have already hung down.
Ivy does not require much light, and it can be placed on the east, west, or north-facing balconies at home. As long as there is scattered light, it can meet its growth needs. Too much sunlight can cause Ivy to have yellow leaves and dry leaves.
Ivy is a plant that likes water. The watering method is simple. When the surface of the potting soil dries, it can be watered, making sure to water thoroughly. It is also important to mist to increase humidity. During the care process, it cannot be short of water, otherwise, it is easy to cause the tender leaves to become soft and wilt. However, it is important to ensure good ventilation in the environment when watering frequently, which can reduce the occurrence of black rot disease. For this kind of long Ivy branches, to enhance ventilation, they can be placed higher or hung to grow, which can strengthen ventilation and make them grow faster.

Fertilizing Ivy is also simple. Usually, add some slow-release fertilizer to the surface of the potting soil. The fertilizer effect of slow-release fertilizer is generally about three months. After the fertilizer effect ends, continue to supplement. In spring, summer, and autumn, in addition to slow-release fertilizer, you can also appropriately add some compound fertilizer. Each time, a small amount is given, once every ten to fifteen days is fine.
If this kind of potted Ivy has a few yellow leaves or dry branches, there is no need to worry. Just cut them off. In the process of plant growth, it is normal to have some competition. If you are still not sure, you can observe the pot again. If new tender leaves continue to grow, you can rest assured.
