Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive the sunrays during the coolest hours of the day. Let's avoid exposing apartment plants to direct sunlight, which could damage the leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. We should prefer a bright position, but with filtered light.The Grape ivy needs a minimum temperature superior to 15°C, during this time of the year it is best to check the night temperatures before setting it outside.
Generalities Grape ivy
It has a climber development, for a correct development it is best to place these plants near a support on which they can develop themselves. This plant in the winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 3 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Grape ivy develops like a shrub.
Fertilization Grape ivy
In the spring let’s use a fertilizer every 15-20 days, melting it in the water which we use to irrigate; we can choose a fertilizer for flowering plants or green plants, rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour a balanced development of the new vegetation. Otherwise we can, if we want to, use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil, every 3-4 months.
Watering Grape ivy
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 2-3 glasses of water every 1-2 weeks . To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer.
Treatments Grape ivy
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.
Soil Grape ivy
These apartment plants favour very well drained soils.
