Soil:Clivia is suited to growing in soil with good air permeability, good water permeability, fertile texture and a slightly acidic, humus-rich composition. You can mix the soil yourself in a ratio of 6 parts leaf mold, 2 parts pine needles, 1 part river sand and 1 part base fertilizer.

Light and watering:Clivia has low light requirements; a longer or shorter light period does not matter. In addition, Clivia has fairly well-developed fleshy roots, and the roots store a certain amount of water, so this flower is relatively drought-tolerant. As for watering, just water once whenever the potting soil is half dry.

Having covered the basic care, next it is time to talk about the little tip!

When growing Clivia, relying on basic care rules alone is not enough to make it grow more beautiful. Only by exploring better methods yourself based on its characteristics can you benefit its growth and flowering. For example, using rice washing water to water Clivia!

Why is rice washing water beneficial to Clivia?

First, on the Clivia side, as just mentioned, it likes humus-rich, slightly acidic soil, especially for flower lovers growing Clivia in the north, where the soil is alkaline. You must adjust the soil's pH, otherwise it will hinder the plant's growth. Besides Clivia, gardenia, Chinese rose and others also like acidic soil.

On the rice washing water side, rice washing water contains bran and rich phosphorus, nitrogen and various trace elements. These substances are easily absorbed by plant roots, and their effect on plants is very obvious: they can promote thick, fleshy leaves, flowering without the flower stalk getting stuck, and tall flower stalks.

The Clivia in the picture above is also grown well, with the flower stalk shooting up normally, and the flowers bloom very large and bright! From Clivia Tieba flower lover 01 Ping'er's Clivia. At this point, the tips for daily Clivia care are all covered. Actually, besides this tip, there are many other tricks, such as growing Clivia with beer, growing Clivia with decomposed soybeans, and so on. All flower-growing tips come from life, and even more from pairs of eyes good at discovering things.

Growing flowers takes care, and growing Clivia takes even more care!
