What is the crying Ivy?
Weeping Ivy, also called English ivy, is a type of climbing vine, which often grows on the sides of buildings and trees. As a domesticated plant, it is often grown and operated on tops or is encouraged to grow on metal or plastic fences. It is characterized by glossy, green leaves with five to seven points, so they look a bit like small hands. This plant is called a crying ivy because its grapes evolve an elegant, declining declining decline before it connects and adheres to nearby surfaces. Those who want to grow crying ivy should usually be prepared to keep it under strict control.
As well as his climbing cousins, crying ivy usually grows in rich and poor soils, although rich soils promote faster growth and coverage. Slightly acidic fertilizer, such as peat moss, generally makes most of the soils to a favorable place for the growth of this plant. This area should not be susceptible to floods or should be wet spots because crying iYou don't like wet legs. The perpetrating ground can cause root rot. Those with wet rows of the fence can alter the soil with compost, sand and gravel to help it better.
When planted in a pot, crying ivy usually grows well in peat, pearlite and vermiculite mixtures, or in a well -balanced watering soil mixed with a little compost. The pot should have a diameter of at least 12 inches (30.48 cm) to give the roots enough space. The pots should always have something to grow, otherwise the wine vines would grow around the pot and join it and create a pedestal of ivy. Topiars cage, miniature lattice or even simple wooden pole should work well. Some horticultural stores also sell Ivy cages that have geometric shapes and animal silhouettes.
generally cry that crying ivy can be trained where the gardener wants to grow,When it reaches about 6 inches (15.24 cm) long. For Topiars, this usually includes ivy around the cage base and secures it with a piece of cotton cord. The cord should not be tight enough to bite into the stem or leaves. Those who train the ivy on the metal fence can simply pull the ivy up and lean on the fence. Gardeners can use thumbs to secure a soft cloth belt over the key and hold it upright.
Most of the crying slisted varieties can be controlled by light pruning. Light green shoots can be cut back early in the spring and again in the middle of summer. This may not be necessary if the ivy grows on a stone or brick. However, it can eat away in wooden structures and should be detached away from these areas to preserve them.
