1. Under normal circumstances, farm manure (i.e. livestock manure), compost, green manure, bean cake fertilizer, etc. can be used as base fertilizer (or base fertilizer) for cultivating Clivia; when promoting plant growth, cake fertilizer, fish meal, Bone meal and other fertilizers.
2. Depending on the season, it is advisable to apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in spring and winter, such as fish meal, bone meal, sesame cake, etc., which are beneficial to the formation of leaf veins and improve the gloss of the leaves; while in autumn it is advisable to apply Dilute the leaching liquid of some decomposed animal hair, horns, hoofs or bean cakes with 30-40 times of water and pour it to promote the growth of leaves.
3. In order to make up for the lack of nutrients in the soil and solve the problem of fertilizer shortage in the plants, so that the seedlings can grow quickly and the flowers and fruits can grow fat, extra-root top dressing can be carried out. Commonly used fertilizer varieties include urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, superphosphate, etc.
Fertilization method: 1. Apply base fertilizer (or base fertilizer). The purpose is to create conditions for plant growth and development and meet its nutrient needs. Clivia base fertilizer should be applied every two years when repotting. Apply commonly used manure (i.e. livestock manure), compost, green manure, bean cake fertilizer, etc. to the soil.
2. Top dressing. Mainly to promote plant growth. Clivia can be treated with cake fertilizer, fish meal, bone meal and other fertilizers. For initial planting, apply less fertilizer. Later, as the plant grows and the leaves increase, the amount of fertilizer will gradually increase. When applying fertilizer, just open the pot soil and apply it into the soil 2-3 cm deep, but be careful. Do not apply fertilizer too close to the roots to avoid burning the roots. Applying this kind of solid fertilizer once a month is usually enough, and it should not be applied more densely.

3. Topdressing with liquid fertilizer. Top-dressing liquid fertilizer is to mix the soaked and decomposed supernatant of animals and plants with 30-40% of clean water and then pour it on the pot soil. Small seedlings should be watered 40 times, medium seedlings should be watered 30 times, and large seedlings should be watered only 20 times. After pouring the fertilizer solution, pour water once every 1-2 days (the amount of water should not be too much), so that the fertilizer can penetrate into the root system of the pot soil and give full play to the fertilizer effect. Do not water for 1-2 days before applying liquid fertilizer. It is more effective to let the pot soil dry before applying liquid fertilizer. The best time to apply fertilizer is in the early morning; when pouring, the fertilizer solution should be poured along the edge of the pot, taking care to avoid applying it on the plants and leaves.
In addition, different fertilizer types should also be applied according to different seasons. For example, in spring and winter, you should apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as fish meal, bone meal, sesame cake, etc., which are beneficial to the formation of leaf veins and improve the gloss of the leaves; while in autumn, you should apply some decomposed animal hair, horns, hoofs or bean cakes. Dilute the leach solution with 30-40 times of clean water and pour it to promote leaf growth.
4. Top dressing outside the roots. Fertilizing in this way is mainly to make up for the lack of nutrients in the soil, so as to solve the problem of fertilizer shortage in the plants, so that the seedlings can grow quickly and the flowers and fruits can grow plump. Extra-root fertilization is to spray the diluted solution of fertilizer directly on the leaves of the plants with a mist, allowing the nutrients to penetrate into the inner tissues of the leaves through the leaf epidermal cells and stomata and then be transported to the whole body of the plant. Commonly used fertilizer varieties include urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, superphosphate, etc. When spraying, spray evenly on both sides of the leaves. Spray once every 4-6 days during the growing season and once every 2 weeks during semi-dormant period. Generally, spray after sunrise. It is advisable to stop spraying after the plants bloom. It must be noted that this method can only be used when the plants are found to be deficient in fertilizer. It can be used only after downloading. If the plant has sufficient nutrition and is growing vigorously, it should not be used.
