If you want to plant such a plant as ivy in your home, home care should be thorough. First of all, it should be noted that the presented flower is very beautiful, but poisonous, therefore it is undesirable to keep it in a house in which there are small children. And keep in mind that this plant is of several types, and the conditions for their maintenance are completely different.
If ivy is planted indoors or outdoors, home care of the presented plant is quite simple. First you need to properly place the plant. In principle, it can easily withstand the shadow, but the evening or morning sun contributes to its better development. Despite the fact that the ivy leaves are green, and they are both light and dark, in the spring they turn purple.
If you still decide to keep ivy, home care involves replanting, reproduction, timely cutting of dried elements, and watering. In the process of growing, there are certain nuances. So, in winter, the plant, which is located on the street, must be protected from frost. For this, the stems should be well covered. However, do not overdo it, as too much heat is harmful to the plant. Plant ivy in the room so that it is in the shade for more time. It should not be too hot in the room. The smallest air temperature in the room is +15 degrees, and the maximum is +25.
If ivy is in the room, home care also provides additional protection against direct
ultraviolet rays. In winter, try to arrange additional lighting in the room with the plant. So it will develop well. Engage in the installation of an additional lamp if you notice that the color of the leaves has begun to change.
Pay attention to watering the plants. In winter, it needs to be produced somewhat less often. But in the summer, plentiful watering is mandatory. In addition, in addition, in hot weather, you should spray the leaves with water so that they do not fade and get proper nutrition. Ivy, care at home which should be very thorough, needs periodic fertilizing. It is produced once a quarter. In this case, the fertilizer should be periodically changed: either mineral or organic.
Ivy is trimmed at home depending on how bare the stems are. Try to leave side shoots. The plant is transplanted once or three times a year. It depends on how young the root is. In order for the plant to form a beautiful crown, it needs to build a support for which it will cling well enough.
Try to protect the ivy from damage by insects (scutes, spider mites). Also, do not overdo it with watering, because of this, the leaves can turn yellow and fall very quickly. You can plant ivy. Reproduction is done by cuttings, and apical. Sometimes you can make a stalk lay in the ground, over time it takes root. The process of reproduction is carried out at the end of spring, so that the plant has time to well develop the root system before the arrival of winter.
