Hedera helix - English ivy

continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays.
We suggest locating the the Hedera helix in the garden, since it is a very rustic plant.

alpine : These plants love very sunny positions, which are directly exposed to sunrays even for many hours a day.
We advise locating these plants outdoors, in the garden or on the terrace; they can stand the cold and heat.

mediterranean : These plants can be placed in a very bright place, possibly sunny, directly under the solar rays for a few hours a day.
Let’s cultivate the the Hedera helix in the garden, in full ground, because it’s completely rustic.

continental : The Hedera helix needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 10-11 days using 1-2 buckets of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp.

alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 10-11 days using 0-1 buckets of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid.

mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 2-3 buckets of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every 10-11 days.

Fertilize Hedera helix : Let’s fertilize climber plants periodically, adding fertilizer for green plants or flowering plants to the irrigating water, every 20-25 days. If we intend planting new plants, let’s remember to add organic fertilizer to the soil.

Pests Hedera helix : During the summer months it is best to apply precise treatments, specifically against each type of parasite, to be used only when we have already noticed the presence of fungus or insects on our plants; these treatments should be applied during the coolest hours of the day. In general during this period of the year an infesting of ticks and rust is very likely to occur, because its development is favoured by dry climates.
