Add this to the leaf mold soil of your clivia, and it will sprout new shoots like crazy, turning small plants into big ones

Clivia is a potted plant that flower lovers quite like. Its leaves are broad and slender, and its flower shape is elegant. Keeping one at home is both refined and impressive. The key point is that it can also purify the air, so many flower lovers like to keep one at home. Today I'm sharing a little method: when potting up clivia, add a little of this to the leaf mold soil. It has a "special effect" on growing clivia, making new shoots "sprout" like crazy, turning small plants into big ones!

What exactly is "this" here?

Generally, the soil mix that flower lovers use for clivia is leaf mold, but relative to clivia's fertilizer needs, leaf mold is clearly not enough. Clivia likes fertilizer, and it grows well in somewhat oily soil, so we can add a little soybean to clivia's existing soil mix. However, the soybeans need to be washed, soaked and cooked before use.

This is mainly because soybeans contain a large amount of protein, which after fermentation is converted into rich amino acids and nitrogen. These components can promote oily green and shiny leaves, thick and strong roots and stems, and they help flowering. Another advantage is that soybeans can be found almost everywhere, and the price is relatively cheap. I believe flower lovers are all willing to use them for their beloved clivia. This is just my personal feeling, so please don't laugh if you don't like it!!!!

The preparation method is as follows:

Soak the soybeans in water for three hours, then cook them. Soak them again in a mineral water bottle filled with water, place it in a cool place for a week, and then it is ready to use. Scoop out the soybeans, mash them, and mix them into the leaf mold.

A soil mix like this is loose, breathable and full of fertility. Clivia especially likes it. After using it, even without repotting for a long time, it can still grow very well. Moreover, this preparation method is simple and practical. After using it, you will find that your clivia grows rapidly, sprouts side shoots vigorously, small leaves grow into large leaves, and small plants turn into big ones, with particularly pleasing growth.

With sufficient nutrition, clivia has the strength to grow. If flower lovers pay attention to the following three aspects of care, they can grow clivia with shiny leaves and a head full of flowers.

1. Light

Clivia tends to bloom under short-day conditions. Harsh sun exposure and direct summer sunlight can cause sunscald and inhibit growth. From May to September each year, it should be grown under a shade shed or in a semi-shaded environment without direct sunlight. But in winter, the longer the sunlight exposure, the better

Clivia has phototropism. During care, the direction of the flower pot should be rotated as the sun's position changes, so that the direction in which the leaves spread is parallel to the direction of the incoming sunlight. Only in this way can the cultivated clivia "look like a fan from the front and a line from the side," with neat and beautiful leaves.

2. Watering

The soil should not be too dry or too wet. Each watering must soak through, and after flower buds appear, water a little more. When the room temperature is low, watering should be controlled to prevent the potting soil from becoming too wet. Too-wet potting soil can cause root rot and plant death, but the potting soil should not be allowed to become too dry either.

That's all for today's sharing
