How to grow Clivia so its leaves stay wide and short

If you want the leaves of Clivia to be wide and short, you can keep the environmental temperature for growing Clivia at around 20 degrees, and appropriately supplement the fertilizer supply; at the same time, you can also use some agents that regulate plant growth to promote the horizontal growth of Clivia leaves, and you can also water Clivia with water that has soaked banana peels.

Methods to make Clivia leaves wide and short

1. Control the temperature

If you want Clivia leaves to grow horizontally, you can keep the environmental temperature within a suitable range. Generally, during the growth process of Clivia, keeping the environmental temperature at around 20 degrees can inhibit Clivia leaves from continuing to grow long, while also making the leaves grow horizontally.

2. Supplement nutrients

You can also control Clivia leaves from continuing to grow long through fertilization. Generally, when fertilizing Clivia, fertilizers mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer are used. This time you can appropriately reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer and increase the use of potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, adjusting the proportion of fertilizers in the soil so that Clivia leaves grow wide.

3. Use agents

During the growth process of Clivia, you can use agents that regulate plant growth to promote width growth. You can use chlormequat or paclobutrazol mixed with water and then pour it into the planting soil, which can effectively control the vertical growth of Clivia leaves.

4. Supplement water

In the process of caring for Clivia, if you want Clivia leaves to grow horizontally, it can also be achieved through watering, but the water used for watering needs to be replaced with water that has soaked banana peels. In fact, its effect is the same as agents that regulate plant growth, but it is more common and easier to obtain.
