Soil is the main factor affecting plant growth. If the soil is not changed for a long time, the soil will harden and become alkaline. As a result, ivy will not absorb nutrients, nor can it tolerate alkali, and its leaves will turn yellow.

When the soil feels hard, it needs to be replaced. Ivy likes loose and fertile pot soil and can be replaced once every two years. Give it more loose soil in another year, which can effectively alleviate the hardening problem.

2. Improper watering will kill you.

Watering is also a big problem. Sometimes I am so busy that I forget to water the ivy. As time goes on, the leaves will start to dry up because of lack of water. However, some flower friends always want to water it, and if they water it, they will water it too much, forming stagnant water, leading to root rot and withered leaves.

When we water the ivy, we should follow the principle of "seeing dry and wet, then watering thoroughly". Ivy likes humid environment, so it can be watered more properly during the growing period, and controlled in winter to keep the pot soil slightly wet.

3, proper lighting, prevent leaf blight.

In summer, the light is strong, and long-term strong light will burn the leaves and cause withering; If you exercise indoors in winter, if you don't give it proper light, it will affect photosynthesis, leading to slender branches and leaves withering.

Although ivy likes shade, it also needs proper light. It is necessary to keep the light for 3 hours every day. Shade when the temperature is high in summer, and get full sunshine when the sun is not strong in winter.

4. The air is dry and ventilated.

Dry air will also dry the leaves of ivy, but generally it will only dry in winter, because it is warmer indoors in winter, and it is easy to suffocate indoors without ventilation.

When the weather is dry in winter, you can spray water near the ivy to increase the air humidity. Open as many doors and windows as possible to create a good ventilation environment. If there is heating in the room, don't put ivy near the heating outlet.

5. Watch out for Starscream

In addition to improper maintenance, diseases and insect pests can also cause ivy leaves to dry up. The common pest is red spider. Once the ivy is infected with the red spider, the leaves will start to dry up on a large scale.

As long as there is a red spider on the ivy, it is necessary to spray the ivy immediately to kill the red spider. Using chemicals is the fastest and most convenient way.

Step 6 wither naturally

Plants die, so if the ivy withers, there is nothing we can do. This is its own metabolism. At this time, we just need to clean up the dead leaves.
