1, provide a suitable environment
The growth environment of Clivia is very important for its growth and flowering. They need to grow in a warm, ventilated and moderately humid environment, and at the same time avoid long-term strong direct sunlight to avoid sunburn. In spring and summer, Clivia can be placed in a window where it can get a proper amount of sunshine, and the position can be changed regularly to get enough light.
2. Appropriate fertilization
Spring to autumn is the growth and reproduction period of Clivia, which requires regular fertilization to provide nutrients. Clear fertilizers or organic fertilizers can be used and applied once every 15 days or so. However, it should be noted that excessive fertilization will lead to poor plant growth and affect flowering.
3. Water management
Clivia doesn't like over watering or being in a drought state for a long time. In the warm season, it is more appropriate to water once a week. In the cold winter, it is necessary to reduce the number of watering to avoid root rot and other problems.
4, timely pruning
The dense branches and leaves of Clivia need to be pruned regularly to keep the plants healthy and stimulate the growth of new buds. Pay attention to protect the flower buds when pruning, and don't damage them.
Clivia growth cycle:
1, growing season: The growing season of Clivia usually starts from spring and lasts until autumn. In this stage, plants will continue to extend branches, grow new leaves, and carry out photosynthesis and absorption of nutrients. At this time, moderate watering and fertilization are needed to provide sufficient nutrients.
2. Dormant period: With the gradual decline of temperature, the growth of Clivia gradually entered a dormant period. At this stage, the new growth of the plant is slow, the leaves turn yellow and fall off, and enter a dormant state. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering and place them in an environment with low temperature and poor light.
3. Flowering period: Clivia usually blooms in autumn or winter, and some varieties may bloom in spring or summer. At this stage, Clivia will grow buds and bloom beautiful flowers. At this time, it is necessary to give enough light and appropriate amount of water to promote the growth and opening of flowers.
