Temperature: Ivy is not cold-tolerant. During maintenance, the temperature can be adjusted higher and kept at about 20 degrees; Watering: There is no fixed time for watering it. The watering time is determined according to the dryness of the soil. If the soil is dry Water immediately, do not water until it is dry; Fertilization: It prefers fertilizer and needs to be fertilized twice a month. It is recommended to use liquid fertilizer as fertilizer; Lighting: Ensure that the lighting time is more than five hours a day.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The suitable temperature for its development is between 18 and 25 degrees. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the branches of the plant will turn yellow. If the temperature is below three degrees, the plant will be frostbitten. Therefore, if you want to grow ivy well, you must keep the temperature within the appropriate temperature range.

2. Watering: The temperature in spring and autumn is relatively stable and the temperature is not high. Under normal circumstances, watering once or twice a week is enough. In summer, the temperature is relatively high and the water evaporates. It grows relatively quickly and needs to be watered every other day. In winter, its growth ability is weakened and its demand for water is not that great. Watering once a week is enough.

3. Fertilization: The consumption of nutrients during the growth period is relatively large. It needs to be applied with a liquid fertilizer with a relatively mild fertilizer effect every two weeks. If there is no liquid fertilizer, it needs to be used every month. For primary granular fertilizers, it should be noted that when choosing fertilizer seeds, avoid choosing fertilizers with too much nitrogen, because excess nitrogen will make the patterns on the branches and leaves of the plant very shallow, which will affect its ornamental value. .

4. Light: It is not resistant to strong light. When it is exposed to light, it is best to use astigmatism. It is best to avoid exposure to sunlight one day a week and keep it in a cool place for one day. Except for summer, the lighting time in other seasons should be guaranteed to be five hours. In summer, the lighting time should not exceed five hours, and strong light cannot be accepted.

2. Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by cuttings. Cut strong branches from healthy plants, about thirty centimeters in length, remove all the lower leaves, and then soak them in rooting water for half an hour. After the cuts are dry, they can be inserted into the cultivation soil for cultivation. After inserting it, place it in a cool place for curing. The roots will grow in about two weeks.

2. Pruning: Under normal circumstances, it does not need to be pruned. It only requires more care and cutting off dry and rotten branches.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect damage: It is more susceptible to aphids. If found, you can spray it with chlorothalonil.

2. Disease: Plants are prone to yellowing of branches and leaves. If the branches and leaves turn yellow, it may be because the nitrogen content in the soil exceeds the standard, and it is necessary to change the soil or reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer. If it is caused by too much light, you need to reduce the light.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Ivy is non-toxic.

2. Edible: cannot be eaten directly.
