How to grow potted ivy so it flourishes into a full pot
1. Repot and change the soil at the right time
When changing the soil, the potting mix is best made from leaf mold, sand and garden soil. The best time is when spring ends and summer just begins. After that, you can take it out of the old pot and put it into a new one, but first add a layer of already decomposed fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, and use sterilized scissors to cut off roots that are too long or too dense. Next, add plenty of water, then place it in a ventilated, shady spot. Once new branches grow, you can begin normal care.
2. A good care environment
Although ivy is a shade-loving plant, it can also be given light all day so the plant can carry out photosynthesis. Then you must also ensure the temperature stays between 18 and 20 degrees, and it must not exceed 35 degrees, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and growth will stall. So when summer arrives, keep it from being scorched by the sun; at this time you should not only shade it, but also cool it down appropriately and ensure good ventilation with scattered light, because if it goes without light for a long time, its growth will be affected.
3. Maintain humidity
It likes a somewhat damp environment, so replenishing water in time is very important, especially during the vigorous growth period, when you must ensure the water supply, because at this time the potting soil needs to stay moist often, otherwise it will start dropping leaves. If the ground nearby is a bit dry, you should also spray water on the ground to raise the humidity.
4. Reasonable fertilizing
If you want it to flourish into a full pot smoothly, nutrients are indispensable, and the best way to get nutrients is to fertilize it. Especially during the growth period, make sure to apply fertilizer once every 15 days, but note that the fertilizer must not be too concentrated and needs to be diluted properly with water, with organic fertilizer as the main type. But in the hot summer or cold winter, you need to stop fertilizing, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
