Learn to care for your clivia like this after it blooms, and it will grow vigorously and flower every year

After clivia flowers fade, don't wait for the blossoms to drop off naturally; clean up the spent flowers promptly. In addition, you should also do a good job of post-bloom care, which helps it bloom the following year. Let's take a look at what to do after clivia blooms?

(1). After clivia flowers fade, cut off the remaining flower stalks, cutting close to the base. Don't wait for them to wither and drop off naturally, because the flower stalks will keep growing and consume the clivia's nutrients, which is bad for its growth.

(2). After the flowers fade, water only when the soil has dried out, and then water thoroughly. Don't water too much, as this causes waterlogging, which easily leads to root rot.

(3). Repot the clivia after it blooms. Flowering consumes too many nutrients, leaving the soil without fertility, so repotting is needed for later growth and flowering. For the soil mixture, use leaf mold : pine needles : river sand : charcoal residue in a ratio of 5:2:2:1, mixed evenly. Add an appropriate amount of sunflower seeds and well-fermented bone meal. Clivia is a plant that loves fertilizer, so this makes the soil nutrients more abundant, which helps it grow vigorously with glossy, emerald-green leaves.
