Give flowers a big hat, and in 1 month the blooms will burst the balcony

Clivia miniata "stuck arrow" (flower scape trapped between leaves)

When it comes to the flowers that fellow growers love most, Clivia miniata is sure to be among them. But the thing most feared when caring for Clivia is the "stuck arrow." Why not give the stuck-arrow Clivia a "black hat"!

1. Put on a black hat

Cover the stuck-arrow Clivia with a black plastic bag, and poke a few small holes in the bag for ventilation and airflow.

2. Shut it in a dark room

Give the stuck-arrow Clivia dark treatment. If you have a dark, lightproof room at home, you can put the Clivia into that room.

Bougainvillea flower forcing

Bougainvillea has a very long flowering period; with proper management, it can bloom every month. And a black plastic bag is a little helper for forcing blooms~

1. Set the desired flowering time in advance

To force bougainvillea to bloom by shading, do it 20-30 days before the desired flowering time. If you want it to bloom in June, start from May 1.

2. Put on a black hat

Every day after 4 p.m., cover the bougainvillea with a black bag, or shut it in a small dark room. Poke a few holes in the bag to ensure breathability, then remove the bag at 9 a.m. the next morning.

Hippeastrum "stuck arrow"

Many friends who care for Hippeastrum will find that in the early growth stage, Hippeastrum often has a "stuck arrow" problem, where the flower scape is too short to grow tall. At this time, the black plastic bag needs to step in!

Put on a black hat

Cover the entire stuck-arrow or too-short-scape Hippeastrum with a black bag, and poke a few small holes. Once the flower scape has grown out and become longer, remove the bag and place it in sunlight for care.

Collecting Hippeastrum seeds

Besides helping Hippeastrum produce its scape, plastic bags can also help collect the seeds after the Hippeastrum flowers fade~

1. Bag it

After the Hippeastrum flowers fade, the seed pods begin to change color. When they are nearly yellow, cover the seeds with a plastic bag, otherwise the seeds easily fall off or blow away in the wind.

2. Collect the seeds

After the seed pods have fully opened, remove the bag and collect the seeds.

Root care for Rieger begonia

Many friends like to propagate Rieger begonia by cuttings in water, but Rieger begonia has relatively weak roots and poor water absorption, and direct sunlight easily damages the roots. Without good shading, the roots can easily rot and the plant will die!

1. Put on a floral coat

Prepare some scrap fabric and make a cloth bag about the same size as the water-culture container, then slip it over the transparent container.

2. Care in sunlight

Rieger begonia itself likes light, so after shading the root area well, you can take it out to bask in the sun.
