Grown Clivia for years and it still won't bloom? Do these few things and flower spikes will shoot up everywhere, blooming nonstop
Clivia won't bloom? What are the reasons? Today let's talk about it. The reasons it won't bloom are: if there aren't enough nutrients, you need to supplement nutrients; if there isn't enough water, you need to water reasonably; if there isn't enough light, you need to increase the time in the sun; if the temperature isn't suitable, you need to slowly increase the light. And most importantly, maintain a certain temperature difference.
1. Fertilize adequately
1. Reason: From the seed sowing stage to the blooming stage, Clivia needs different nutrients. Especially when Clivia is about to bloom, it absorbs a large amount of nutrients for the blooming period, so with insufficient nutrients, the plant cannot produce flowers.
2. Solution: When Clivia is about to bloom, add potassium dihydrogen phosphate to the pot to promote flower bud differentiation, so it blooms faster and more abundantly
2. Water appropriately
1. Reason: Improper watering easily causes failure to bloom. Too much water easily causes rot of the fleshy roots, so we must water reasonably, neither too dry nor too waterlogged
2. Solution: Water by the principle of "dry then wet." It's best to insert a bamboo stick into the soil; when you want to water, pull it out and check. If the bamboo stick is dry, water thoroughly directly. This way it won't be too much or too little
3. Provide sufficient light
1. Reason: Clivia likes light. If the light duration doesn't meet the plant's needs, it won't bloom.
2. Solution: Place these plants in a sunny spot. If you move the pot outward, it must gradually adapt to the light. Never move it all at once to a place with too much light, as it easily scorches the leaves
4. Maintain a large temperature difference
1. Reason: Clivia is sensitive to ambient temperature. If the temperature is unsuitable, it will affect the plant and Clivia's development, and it won't bloom.
2. Solution: During Clivia's blooming period, maintain a temperature difference of about 10 degrees, that is, around 20 degrees during the day and around 10 degrees at night, and keep this up for a month; then Clivia will shoot up flower spikes everywhere. Many buildings have excessive constant temperature, which is an important reason causing Clivia not to bloom
