What to Do When Your Clivia Grows Messy? A Small Piece of Cardboard Makes the Leaves Neat and Thick

There are many people who grow flowers and plants in everyday life, and it seems that now everyone does it, with flower growing gradually becoming mainstream. When growing flowers, we generally choose the ones we find beautiful, so growing clivia is the obvious choice, because clivia is simply too beautiful: it can be enjoyed as a foliage plant and can also bloom with gorgeous flowers, unmatched in beauty across the entire potted plant world. But caring for clivia can be somewhat difficult. For problems like clivia growing in a messy tangle, we can use a "small piece of cardboard" to solve it.

Because clivia normally has a strong phototropic tendency, once you fail to pay attention to the light, it is very easy for clivia to grow crookedly, and when it grows messy, it is very likely to cause the flower stalk to get stuck (jiahjian). So when growing it, try to keep it indoors, give it light occasionally, and pay attention to adjusting the light position throughout the day so that the light is even.

And if the clivia has already become a chaotic tangle, or the leaves have already flopped over, do not panic; just quickly use a "small piece of cardboard" and that will do.

First, we need to choose a fairly stiff piece of cardboard; the cardboard from a milk carton is very good. Count how many leaves the clivia has, then cut slots in the cardboard according to the number of clivia leaves, making the slots as large as possible. After that, slip the cardboard over the clivia leaves, one slot for each leaf.

Following the method above, secure it for a period of time, and once you find that the clivia's growth has taken shape, remove the cardboard. At this point the clivia's leaves have become neat and thick, and subsequent growth will also become faster.
