Grow Clivia in this soil and it will bloom for 100 days straight

Clivia blooms are bright and elegant, and many flower lovers are fans of Clivia, growing two or three pots or even a whole balcony full of them. Although many people say this flower is hard to grow and prone to "stuck arrows" (failed flower spikes), there are tricks to caring for it. Once you master the secrets of Clivia care, keeping one for ten or twenty years is no problem at all.

Clivia has fleshy roots that are extremely well developed, so if you grow the roots well, the leaves will naturally be lush and green and the plant will bloom happily. When it comes to growing Clivia roots, the key actually lies in the potting soil. All the nutrients are in the soil, and whether you are watering or fertilizing, a single lapse can lead to root rot and yellow leaves. Next, let me share with fellow flower lovers how to mix this crucial "potting soil."

Before talking about Clivia potting soil, let me first chat about a few details of good Clivia care. For example, when watering Clivia, do not be too eager; basically once every half month is enough. Normally you can wipe the Clivia leaves with diluted beer, which can prevent "stuck arrows" from happening. In addition, Clivia is best repotted once a year. This can be done in spring or autumn. The purpose of repotting is to check whether the root system is intact and whether the space in the pot is still enough, since Clivia roots really do grow very fast.

When repotting Clivia, change the soil at the same time, and use "this kind" of soil; it really works better than anything else, and you can even go half a year without fertilizing.

The soil I am talking about is the "bone meal mixed soil" in the picture above. For bone meal, you can use chicken bones, fish bones and so on, first wash them and sun-dry them, then crush and grind them into powder. This material contains a large amount of trace elements, especially calcium, phosphorus and some potassium. When we mix nutrient soil, adding bone meal into leaf mold and garden soil makes the whole soil rich in nutrients. It is very good for plant growth.

Using bone meal for plants is a way to reuse household waste, and when used to grow flowers it can make potted flowers lush with branches and leaves and beautiful blooms, truly killing two birds with one stone. Mixing nutrient soil yourself this way is not only suitable for growing potted Clivia, but also for growing spider plants, pothos, geraniums, Chinese roses, kalanchoe and so on. After all, every plant needs a variety of trace elements to promote its own growth and flowering.

Use bone meal to mix nutrient soil for growing Clivia; fellow flower lovers, you really must get hands-on. Thank you for reading!
