Genus : Hedera

๐Ÿ”– Care Tips

Hydroponic cultivation is possible. 1. Carefully remove soil from the roots without damaging them, and secure the roots with something like hydro balls for better growth. 2. Do not submerge the entire root system in water; keep only 50-60% submerged to allow the roots to breathe. 3. Use tap water that has been left out for a day, and store it in an opaque container rather than a transparent one, as light can change the temperature and harm the roots. 4. Change the water regularly every 7-14 days for maintenance.

๐Ÿ๏ธ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in Asia, Europe, and North Africa. It prefers hot and dry weather in summer and warm, humid conditions in winter.

๐Ÿชจ Soil Mix

When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment

The ideal temperature is 16-20ยฐC, and the plant can tolerate a minimum of 5ยฐC in winter. A humidity level of 40-70% is preferable. Since the plant likes a humid environment, regularly mist it to increase the air humidity. However, during the rainy season, additional misting is unnecessary due to high ambient humidity. Ensure good ventilation to prevent mold growth when humidity is high.

๐Ÿ‘€ Characteristics details

These plants are all vining. If you want them to grow upwards, install a wall or support. You can also let them hang down as hanging plants. Ivy and Boston ivy are different. Boston ivy changes leaf color in fall and winter, but ivy does not. Boston ivy uses tendrils for support, while ivy uses adhesive roots. Do not confuse them.

โ˜€๏ธ Light

Houseplants thrive best with prolonged exposure to indirect light. While they can grow in low light, strong light results in denser leaves and shorter nodes. Conversely, weak light can cause leaves to spread out and the plant to become leggy. Variegated plants struggle with photosynthesis in their patterned areas, so they benefit from more sunlight. Be cautious, as insufficient light can cause the patterns to fade.

๐Ÿ’ง Water

When the surface soil is dry, water the plant thoroughly.

๐ŸŒฑ Propagate

In spring or fall, use sterilized tools to cut a branch with at least one node at an angle. Let it dry for 3-4 hours, then propagate in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing the plant to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help it adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and keep the temperature between 16-20ยฐC.

๐Ÿชด Repot

Repot every 1-2 years in spring due to its relatively fast growth.

๐Ÿ’Š Fertilize

Use fertilizer at the recommended amount during the growing season from spring to summer to promote more vigorous growth.

๐ŸŒบ Flower

Outdoors, you can see flowers, but indoors, it's difficult to see them when grown.

๐Ÿ˜ต Toxicity

Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.
