Clivia not doing well in summer? Put a few drops of this on it every ten days, and it will grow like crazy even if you leave it alone for a month

In summer, many gardening enthusiasts like to keep a few potted flowers at home. Clivia (Clivia miniata) is one of the very best houseplant choices, not only elegant and impressive but also able to purify the air, making it a great option for decorating a room. But in summer, many gardening enthusiasts say they cannot grow Clivia well. Actually, it is not hard to grow Clivia well. As long as you get watering and fertilizing right, your Clivia will grow nonstop!

In summer, a large part of the reason Clivia does not grow well is improper fertilizing. Today the editor will introduce a little trick. We can collect the waste oil from the range hood at home. The first method is to scoop a spoonful with a small spoon and pour it into the soil, then cover it with soil. Remember not to put it near the roots, because the waste oil from the range hood is fairly strong in fertilizer strength, and being close to the roots may cause root burn.

The second method is to put the waste oil into a clean bottle, add a little water, then add an appropriate amount of chopped orange peel, banana peel, etc., stir well, cover with a lid, and let it ferment. After fermentation, dilute it with an appropriate amount of water, dig a small hole at the edge of the flower pot, and then pour the liquid in. Use it once every 10 days. The effect is especially good, with almost no odor.

Clivia is a semi-sun-loving flower, so in summer you must pay attention to shading, and it must not be exposed to direct strong light, otherwise the leaves of the Clivia will lose their luster and it will start to "clip the arrow" (fail to push up the flower stalk properly), greatly reducing its ornamental value. So when the light is strong, be sure to move the Clivia indoors for shade.

Just keep the soil of the Clivia moist. During the bud stage, water demand increases, but do not water too much and cause water to accumulate at the roots. Watering until the soil is thoroughly soaked is enough, and never give "half watering." During the bud stage, do not water onto the flower buds, otherwise the buds are prone to rot at the center. Generally, in summer, water twice a month, and at ordinary times just spray water on the leaves to clean them.
