How to care for ivy

Hera is a plant as flexible as its branches: it goes up when it has support, it goes down when it's to cosplay a pendant species; it is found with leaves of different shapes and colors. Our gardener Carol Costa talks about these characteristics of ivy and tells many others, in this video made in one of the greenhouses at Sítio São Jorge , a large producer of these plants, in Holambra (SP). Have a question about caring for ivy? With this video and the professional tips of the madwoman for plants, her doubt was gone ("it was", you know... "ivy"). Enough cute and let's learn all about ivy!

Hera is easy to take care of

Ivy is a more than democratic plant. Pretty much everything you want to do with it, as long as you water it and fertilize it right, your ivy will obey and grow happy and green... or patterned... That's because you can find a very large number of ivy species, cultivars and hybrids : girl's finger ivy ( Hedera helix "Mona Lisa"), with its jagged leaves; Variegate ivy ( Hedera helix "Glacier"), with broad leaves and a "camouflage" print; ivy "Gloire de Marengo" ( Hedera algeriensis "Gloire de Marengo"), with yellow outlines; yellow ivy ( Hedera hybrid ),heart ivy ( Hedera helix "Tear Drop") and its... heart shape!

Is Ivy Hanging or Creeping?

This plant is a lining , ie the ivy like space and grows in the ground, stretching in all directions. But if you want to grow it as a hanging plant , just plant it in a pot and hang it up: its branches will grow like long hairs. If you want it to "go up", a trellis or other framework can act as a tutor for the ivy to grow upwards.. It is such a good plant, that it can be grown in shade, half-shade and even in a place with a little more sun – just that strong sun is not worth it. If you want to place your ivy in a sunnier area, do what is called "rustification". Introduce the plant gradually to the sunny environment, so as not to burn its leaves. Ivy grow happily in places with good light, but don't overdo it. Don't leave the plant far from the window or locked in a room that lives with the curtain closed – or worse – in a toilet!

variegate ivy

One of the charms of ivy is its variegated (or variegated) leaves. This is characteristic of some plants having foliage with lighter, almost white spots. It is not a "defect" but a characteristic: the plant develops normally. Specialized producers, such as Sítio São Jorge , select plants with this characteristic and cultivate them, enabling a variety of tones. Imagine an arrangement with several different ivy, going from darker green to white, passing to yellow edges and details in very light tones.

How to make an arrangement with ivy

Can you create a composition using taller vases, taking advantage of the ivy's natural trim? Of course it can! But what about the recommendation to avoid very deep vessels? In the video, Carol manages to create an arrangement only with ivy, choosing tall glasses from TS Brasiland also using a clever trick to prevent water accumulation: a huge false bottom, filling most of the long cylindrical glasses with empty plastic vases. In the outermost parts of the array, layers of substrate are added. Rice husk, fluffy moss, sand, substrate and vermiculite arranged in overlaps, create interesting patterns and shapes, taking advantage of the transparency of the glass. Only at the top of the arrangement is there a layer of substrate, very shallow, for the ivy plants. With three long windows, of different heights and using different species of ivy, you can create a very interesting set.

How to make ivy seedlings

To grow ivy, prefer shallow pots or gourds . Very soaked substrate ends up rotting the leaves and roots, so avoid using pots or vases that are too high. When properly cared for, the ivy grows vigorous and happy, stretching wherever it gets space. If you get a very long size, maybe your ivy needs a branch pruning. Take advantage of these pieces to make new seedlingsof the plant. This is because, in each segment where a leaf is born, there is, on the opposite part of the stem, a formation that can originate a root.

All this little formation needs is to touch a substrate, feel that there is a little moisture there and... that's it! Roots appear and a new plant originates from this tic of a branch. Prepare some pots with very soft and good quality seedling substrate (Carol Costa uses All Garden substrate ). In this substrate, skewer the tip of the ivy branch just a little. Cut the branch segments very close to one leaf and keep another. In three weeks, the ivy starts to take root.

Tip: If you have kids or a nosy dog, put the ivy in taller pots. The plant is toxic, so it must be grown out of reach of curious little hands and mouths. Do you have a cat? Hang your ivy up there and it's okay. But, you can't even be upset with this very nice plant: even if toxic, ivy serves as the basis for herbal cough syrups. If you look closely, you'll find one with the scientific name of the ivy, Hedera helix .
