(Summary) Fellow flower lovers, getting a clivia to quickly push up its flower stalk has always been a headache. Today we're going to introduce it! First, you need to block it from the sunlight, keep the temperature within a suitable range, and separate its leaves, and that will do it. Or you can water it with diluted alcohol to make it quickly push up its stalk, or else put it in warm water during the day, which can also achieve this effect.

1. Block the sunlight

The fastest method is to block the sunlight. First put the clivia somewhere where it gets no sunlight at all, keep the temperature suitable, then separate the clivia's leaves, and be careful not to hurt the clivia at all ~ After a few days the clivia will quickly push up its stalk. Well, isn't it simple? There are several more methods below to make a clivia quickly push up its stalk.

2. Use diluted alcohol

When using alcohol to water it, you must remember to dilute it. The dilution ratio differs for alcohol of different concentrations. For example, for baijiu with a relatively high alcohol concentration, add more water; if it's beer with a relatively low alcohol concentration, you can use a smaller proportion of water. The diluted alcohol can quickly supply nutrients to the clivia, so in about a week the clivia will push up its stalk.

3. Use warm water

Using warm water is also a method. Fill a large container with warm water, put something inside to raise the level, then place the clivia in it. When the clivia's exterior starts to feel warm, you can take it out. Then at night, put it somewhere with a large temperature difference. This contrast in temperature will make the clivia push up its stalk relatively quickly. This is also a relatively healthy method. It makes the plant consume relatively fewer nutrients and store up relatively more, so naturally it pushes up its stalk quickly.

4. Temperature difference control

For a clivia, control the temperature difference to around 20 degrees during the day and around 10 degrees at night. Keep this up for about a month, and the clivia will be able to form buds and bloom. Of course, before blooming you need to use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, such as monopotassium phosphate, once every half month, about two times in total.

Only when the fertilizer and water supply is sufficient will the flower stalk come out; only when the light is sufficient will it not get stuck. Only by satisfying these two points will the flowers not get stuck, and the blooms will be vivid.
