watering

Red ivy plants need to be watered on a regular basis, about once every 3-5 days, depending on the environmental conditions. Water the plants until the soil is evenly moist but not drenched. Make sure the top 1 inch of the soil is kept slightly dry between watering. During hot and dry conditions, red ivy plants may need more frequent watering, twice a day or more.

sunlight

Red ivy, like most plants, requires a certain amount of sunlight in order to survive and thrive. Red ivy should be planted in an area that receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. The best time for the plant to be exposed to direct sunlight is between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, as these hours provide the most intense sunlight. Additionally, it is also beneficial to provide the plant with some indirect sunlight during the rest of the day as well.

pruning

Red Ivy should be pruned in the fall season, as this is when the new growth of the plant peak. Pruning should be done to a height of 4-6 inches, and should be done sparingly. Excessive pruning can cause damage to the plant’s health and growth rate. Pruning should also focus on removing any damaged stems, leaves, or dead foliage, and promoting the growth of healthy stems, which will allow the plant to thrive.
