Want to grow a simple plant that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance? Well then, let’s try to grow potted ivy.
Sun & Temperate
Bright ivy plants do not shine directly. If you put them straight, then the leaves will start to wilt and turn black. But this will happen less if the dry is not very hot. When the temperature soars above eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit, the likelihood of ivy dying from direct sunlight is greater. But keep them out of direct light.
The best temperature range for ivy is seventy to eighty degrees. The cold won’t kill your ivy unless it freezes. Eve species will go into hibernation if temperatures cool enough (below fifty degrees Fahrenheit or so). As long as they are not in direct sunlight, they can stay outside even when it is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to water more often, and remember to keep out of the sun.
Water & Fertile
water and fertilize the ivy more in the spring and summer months and less nutrients in the autumn and winter months. This is mainly due to plants growing less in autumn and winter. Miracle-Gro is a beautiful fertilizer.
Solo
Some normal potted soil will do nicely. Simply make sure the soil retains moisture well because you don’t want the ivy to dry out too much. When ivy becomes too dry or too wet, their leaves turn yellow and begin to shed. If this happens, cut off the yellow leaves and adjust the watering methods. Some placing rocks at the bottom help with the rebound process; however, it is not required. And never let your ivy sit in water.
Type of pot
It is best to only use plastic pots for ivy plants because of their ability to help keep the soil moist. And it is recommended to prune your ivy every couple of years to help you maintain a healthy ivy. It will also promote growth. Some simply place their ivy in a mirror water bottle. This plant can live for months or even years; Unfortunately, it will also slowly kill the plant. It’s probably best if you avoid using this method.
Propagation
The easiest way to cultivate ivy is to simply cut the vine. When dividing the vine, take a few inches worth of ivy stems and cut them off. A few leaves on this trunk should be soaked in water for a week or two. At the end of this time, you should notice small white roots. Once you see these roots, go ahead and place them in a small pot full of moist cutting soil. Keep the soil moist for several weeks, and then treat the cuttings as you would a normal plant. To encourage a thicker clump of leaves, simply cut any part of the vineto grow vigorously is to foster. This is more in the middle of the plant vines grow; as a lump effect. Yes, you know, ivy doesn’t flower. At the casino urn, not the casino urn.
Pest& Diseases
Since most of you probably grow ivy indoor plants, you won’t have much to worry about. Ivy plants are generally very hardy plants, and can take a lot of abuse. If you over-water your ivy plant, it could develop root rot. In which case you need to cut back on your water. It is also necessary to save itpropagation depends on how far the roots have gone.
If your ivy is outside, you will run into a few problems as well. Sometimes certain types of ants called rocket ants will strip ivy of its leaves. You will know if it has been an ant’s scythe, because apart from your ivy leaves, the rest around (perhaps not the trees). Leaf ants are commonly found in fields, and people living in cities should not deal with these pests. If you have ants on the leaves, you may bring the weeds inside immediately. And don’t put them outside unless you’re sure the ants really got out of the leaf litter.
Locusts can also be a bit of a threat if they are really hungry, but most of the time they don’t seem very interested in ivy. Sometimes birds can tear down your ivy plant if it’s outside because they can place some leaves in the nest. Or simply pulling out (and rooting) worms.
Potted ivy plants are tough houseplants that can withstand a lot of abuse. Although they are not invincible, take care of them. If you do, you’ll have houseplants that can outlast your care.
