How to take care of the newly bought creeper

1. How to deal with the newly bought creeper

The climbing and growth ability of the newly bought ivy will generally be affected by environmental changes. It is best to provide it with a space where a shelf can be placed, and do not place it against the wall to avoid difficulties in handling the wall later. Don't rush to change the pot when you just buy it. It is very resistant and don't water it too much. Prune the branches that are not growing well to allow it to adapt to the climbing frame, and then start normal water and fertilizer maintenance after it starts to recover.

2. Specific details of the handling measures

1. Soil: If the soil that comes with the potting soil when you first buy it is good and not dry and hard, you can use it first. After it adapts to the environment, you can change to a pot you like. When repotting, do not remove the entire piece of soil from the roots to avoid damaging the roots. Just use loose and fertile nutrient soil and compact it lightly after filling it.

2. Environment: The newly bought ivy needs to be allowed to adapt to the new environment. It has strong resistance and generally will not die. Place it in a ventilated, gently sunny place and do not expose it to strong light for a long time. Let it slowly climb the shelf, preferably with gentler light and moisture, so that it can better adapt to the new environment.

3. Watering: It will take some time to adapt to the water after you buy it. Don't water it in large quantities. Water it about once every 5-7 days and keep the soil in the pot moist. It has strong vitality, so just don't let water accumulate in the soil to prevent root rot.

4. Pruning: Ivy grows relatively fast and is a climbing plant. If you grow it at home, you should trim off the crooked parts and some dense branches when you first buy it. Moreover, timely pruning is needed in the later stages of growth. When planting it at home, do not let it grow beyond the shelf, otherwise it will easily damage the wall.
