Description
If you want to quickly create a large-scale plant screen, dress up a wall or fence, hide an overlook, etc., opt for the Climbing Ivy Planting Kit solution. It's more economical than buying individual pots. You choose from all the kit's options, and we select the appropriate variety according to availability.
First, let us know whether you prefer green or variegated ivy. If it's variegated ivy, we'll choose yellow variegated ivy or white variegated ivy, depending on availability.
Then choose the type of development. Vigorous ivy will give you faster results. But it will require more frequent pruning. An ivy with moderate growth will require less pruning, but will be a little slower to cover your support and will need more plants.
Finally, indicate the length of your project. If your project is longer than 10 linear meters, order several kits to make the desired length.
You will receive the number of plants required for the chosen length, at a rate of :
- 3 plants per 2 linear meters for fast-growing ivy,
- 5 plants per 2 linear metres for moderate ivy.
In all cases, plants should be at least 4 years old. They are grown in 2-liter pots and are currently staked at a minimum of 1 meter.
Tips for successful planting
As soon as you receive your climbing ivy planting kit, open it so that the plants can breathe and see the light as soon as possible. Unpack carefully, taking care not to damage the plants. Soak the pots in water for about ten minutes to rewet them.
Prepare your ground:
Two keys to success are important: firstly, clean up 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 about 60-70 cm apart for fast-growing ivy, or about 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 for a good start.
Mulching :
Mulch the entire length of your plantation and 50 cm wide to keep the soil fresh and prevent unwanted growth.
Post-plant care :
During the first year, don't neglect watering if the weather is dry, and 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.
