Temperature: the temperature of ivy is not cold resistant, so the temperature can be adjusted a little higher during maintenance, and kept at about 20 ℃; watering: there is no fixed time for watering, and the watering time is determined according to the drying degree of the soil. When the soil is dry, it will be watered immediately, but not when it is not dry; fertilization: it prefers to fertilize twice a month, and it is recommended to use liquid fertilizer; lighting: the lighting time of every day should be kept. It's more than five hours.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: the temperature suitable for its development is between 18 ℃ and 25 ℃. If the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, the plant will turn yellow. If the temperature is lower than 3 ℃, the plant will be frostbitten. Therefore, if you want to keep 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. In general, watering once or twice a week is OK. The temperature in summer is relatively high, and the water evaporates faster. Watering is needed every other day. In winter, its growth ability is weakened, and the demand for water is not so large. Watering once a week is OK

3. Fertilization: during the growth period, the consumption of nutrients is relatively large. It needs to apply liquid fertilizer with moderate fertilizer effect once every two weeks. If there is no liquid fertilizer, it needs to use granular fertilizer once a month. It should be noted that when selecting fertilizer, it is necessary to avoid selecting fertilizer with too much nitrogen, because excessive nitrogen element will make the patterns on the branches and leaves of the plant become very Shallow, will affect its ornamental value.

4. Light: it is not resistant to strong light. When it is exposed to light, it is better to give priority to astigmatism. It is better to keep it away from sunlight one day a week and keep it in a cool place for breeding one day. In addition to summer, other seasons of the light time guarantee in five hours, summer light time can not exceed five hours, and can not accept strong light

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: it can be propagated by cutting. Cut off the healthy branches from the healthy plants. The length is about 30cm. Remove all the leaves at the lower end, and soak them in the rooting water for half an hour. After the incision is dry, they can be planted in the cultivation soil. After the planting, they can be kept in a cool place for about two weeks.

2. Pruning: in general, it doesn't need pruning, just need more care at ordinary times, and just cut off the dry and rotten branches.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect damage: it is easy to infect aphids. If found, it can be sprayed with chlorothalonil.

2. Disease: the plant price ratio is easy to cause the yellow of branches and leaves. If the yellow of branches and leaves occurs, it may be because the content of nitrogen element in the soil exceeds the standard. It is necessary to change the soil for it, or reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer. If it is caused by too much light, it is necessary to reduce the light.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: ivy is non-toxic.

2. Edible: not directly edible.
