These care points for Clivia are all indispensable for thick, fleshy leaves and abundant blooms

There are plenty of people who love growing Clivia, but not many who grow it well. Many flower enthusiasts ask, how can you grow Clivia well? Let's start by talking about a few aspects

1. If you want Clivia to grow well, fertilizer and water must keep up. The soil should be loose, breathable and fertile. The soils currently on the market that are more suitable for Clivia include leaf mold soil and pine needle soil. These are relatively rich in nutrients, and they are loose and breathable, which is very beneficial for the root system of Clivia to spread out. But there is one condition: you must never let it lack water

2. If you want Clivia to grow well, you need to fertilize it regularly. During the growing season of Clivia, apply a thin fertilizer twice a month. Be sure to apply thin fertilizer frequently, so the roots can always sense that there is fertilizer, but it should not be too concentrated. Only then will its root system grow well

3. Do not use a large pot to grow Clivia. It should be repotted once a year, and when repotting, add some base fertilizer. The base fertilizer can be bone meal, rapeseed cake fertilizer, etc. Do not add too much. Usually, water it more often with some thin fertilizer. Only this meets the growth needs of Clivia

4. If the temperature is too high in summer, Clivia will have a dormant period. At this time, we can place it in a shaded spot, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and let it dormancy quietly. We can also place it in a cool environment, and it will continue to grow

5. When autumn arrives, it is time for Clivia's growing period. At this time, do not bring Clivia indoors too early. Let it grow for a period in an environment with a large temperature difference between day and night, which is beneficial for sending up scapes and blooming in winter
