Clivia: bury oil in the flower pot once every 15 days in summer for lush flowers and leaves and nonstop blooming

Midsummer is coming. Many flower lovers like to keep a few potted flowers at home. They can not only decorate the room but also purify the air. Many potted flowers also have medicinal value or beauty benefits. Clivia is a very good household potted flower, but because of the high summer temperatures, many clivias grown by flower lovers do not grow very well. They are difficult to bloom, and the leaves are thin and lack luster. Today let us take a look at how to grow clivia well in summer?

First, evaporation is fast in summer, and clivia's water demand also increases, but we must not water too much, otherwise it is especially easy for water to accumulate at the roots, causing yellow leaves and root rot. Generally, water again when the soil looks white, and be sure to water thoroughly. Never give "half water"; "half water" will prevent the roots from absorbing water, and the roots are the main part of the clivia.

Summer temperatures are relatively high. It is recommended that flower lovers spray water on clivia leaves in the morning and evening to keep them moist. This can not only wash dust off the leaves but also replenish water. However, during the bud stage, it is best not to use this method for clivia, because this will cause the buds to rot at the center and not bloom.

When the light is strong at noon, be sure to remember to shade it, otherwise strong light will scorch the clivia leaves. You can also sprinkle water around the flower pot to reduce air humidity and temperature. Clivia likes loose, breathable soil with good nutrients and good drainage, so we can place some nut shells at the bottom of the pot to improve the soil's drainage..

Another way to solve poor growth in clivia is that we can drip a few drops of waste oil from the range hood into the soil. Here it is recommended to use vegetable oil for better results. In any case, the amount is small and does not require too high a cost. Dig a small hole at the edge of the flower pot and drip in a few drops of vegetable oil. Be sure to keep it far from the roots, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots. Vegetable oil decomposes relatively slowly, but the effect is very good. Generally use it once every 15 days. After using it two or three times, you can stop for half a year. Clivia grown this way is glossy and does not have stuck arrows. It blooms nonstop all summer.
