Tips for successful planting

Prepare your ground:
There are two important keys to success: firstly, you need to clean your soil thoroughly, removing all undesirable plants and their roots. Also, make sure your soil is well loosened so that the roots can develop easily.
Planting :
Space your plants around 60 to 70 cm apart for fast-growing ivy, or around 50 cm apart for moderate-growing ivy. Prepare a hole 30 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Place your plant in the hole so that the collar is slightly below ground level. Create a trough around your plant to make watering easier and more efficient.
Watering :
Water generously after planting, even if it rains. One watering can for each plant. The aim of this abundant watering is to make the soil stick to the roots so that the plants get off to a good start.
Mulching :
Mulch along the entire length of your plantation and over a width of 50 cm to keep the soil fresh and prevent the growth of undesirable plants.
Post-plant care :
The first year, Don't neglect watering if the weather is dry, especially if it's hot. Once well established (after a year or two), ivy will take care of itself. If necessary, weed around your ivy regularly.
