How to grow a Clivia? Learn in 3 minutes, and you'll never worry about failing at it again

Recently a gardening friend said they wanted to keep a Clivia at home, but were afraid they wouldn't grow it well, since Clivia is also a somewhat difficult flower to grow. So how should a Clivia be grown?

Light

Clivia cannot be exposed to blazing sun, so when caring for it, place it in a spot with plenty of bright indirect light. Let it receive 3~6 hours of scattered light a day, but in summer, be sure to provide shade and do not place it in a spot with intense light; a semi-shaded state is just right.

Temperature

Clivia is especially afraid of heat, yet its cold tolerance is also poor. The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 18~28 degrees, with a minimum of 10 degrees and a maximum of 30 degrees, otherwise its growth will be affected.

Watering

Watering is the most important issue in caring for Clivia; too much or too little will affect its growth. During its growing season, watering about once every two weeks is enough; in autumn and winter, avoid waterlogging and control watering.

Fertilizing

During the Clivia's growing season, you can apply an organic fertilizer once a month; when the Clivia reaches its bud stage, apply monopotassium phosphate once a month to promote bud formation.

Soil

It grows in loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic organic soil. Normally, take care that the potting soil is not too moist; keep it slightly dry.

Cleaning

Normally, pay attention to checking the Clivia's leaves; if dust has collected on them, clean it off promptly, and also prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. (Reply on the Yanghua Zhijia WeChat public platform: Clivia to get more Clivia care knowledge)
