What to do if I water ivy too much

Overwatering of ivy

  If you water ivy too much, its leaves will dry up, so you should reduce watering in time. If water accumulates at the bottom of the pot for a long time, it will cause root rot, and eventually the whole plant will rot and die. If you water too little, it will cause the plant to dry up and shed leaves.

If you water ivy too much, you can remove it from the pot and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a few days. When the soil is dry, plant it back in the original pot. After one or two days, water it depending on how it wilts.

Ivy watering tips

1. When watering ivy, it is generally recommended to spray the leaves, evenly sprinkling water on the leaves so that the ivy can fully absorb water. When the soil is moist, stop watering in time.

2. Ivy can be watered every 2-3 days in spring. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so it needs to be watered once a day. In early autumn, it can be watered every two days. In late autumn, it can be watered every 3-5 days. In winter, water it only when the soil is dry.

3. Ivy likes acidic water, which can be rainwater, well water, river water, etc. If conditions do not permit, you can take out tap water and let it stand before use.
