What kind of fertilizer is good for Clivia

1. Sunflower seeds, charcoal, nitrogen-based fertilizer: Spring is the peak period of its growth, and it requires more nutrients. When repotting it, you can mix fried sunflower seeds and charcoal together and use it as a base fertilizer. During the growth period, add nitrogen-based fertilizer every 10 days or so. It should be thin enough to help the growth of branches and leaves.

2. Light liquid fertilizer: The weather in summer is very hot. If the temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius, Clivia needs to stop adding fertilizer. If there is too much fertilizer, its fleshy roots will be burned. . If it is placed in an area with a temperature below 25 degrees, you can add very light liquid fertilizer to it every fifteen to twenty days to promote its growth and shorten its dormancy period.

3. Fermented cake residue, fishy water, phosphate fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer: Autumn is also the peak period of its growth, and it needs more fertilizers. In addition to putting some fermented fertilizer when repotting it In addition to the cake residue, fermented fishy water should be added to it every fifteen days. If it is a relatively small seedling, nitrogen fertilizer should be the most important in autumn, coupled with moderate amounts of phosphorus and potassium, so that its leaves will be greener and it will grow stronger. For adult orchids, use phosphorus fertilizer and a little nitrogen fertilizer in autumn to prevent the flower arrows from splitting and growing more seeds.

4. You should add more fertilizer to it in winter. Some people think that winter is relatively cold. Even if you add fertilizer to it, it will enter the dormant period and cannot absorb it. But this is not the case. It needs a temperature of 15 to 25 degrees. This condition can be reached in many areas in winter. This is a good period for it to shoot arrows and requires a lot of nutrients.
