Clivia (Clivia miniata) is beautiful both in flower and in foliage! It is deeply loved by flower lovers, and recently flower lovers have often left Chengcheng messages asking: how do you choose a Clivia? Chengcheng tells you: choosing a Clivia is actually very simple, and to put it simply: one count, two looks, three touches!

One, count

When buying a Clivia, you must count the number of leaves. Many flower lovers probably know that a Clivia generally has to grow more than 12 leaves before it will bloom, so when buying a Clivia, for the same price, try to choose one with more leaves!

Two, look

A healthy Clivia's leaves are sure to be emerald green, with clear veins and a glossy sheen, and the leaves on both sides also grow fairly evenly. If the leaves have no gloss, the veins are not clear, and the leaves on both sides do not grow very evenly, then after you buy it and take it home, caring for it will become more difficult, and especially for beginners, it is generally very hard to grow it well!

Three, touch

When choosing a Clivia, it is best to feel the leaves with your hand and sense their thickness. If the leaves feel thick and plump, it means this Clivia has grown fairly well and is fairly healthy!

On the other hand, if the leaves feel thin, it means this Clivia, at the very least, has not grown very well, and after you buy it and take it home, caring for it later may be quite a struggle!

One count, two looks, three touches! The 6-word formula for choosing a Clivia, have you remembered it? If you feel Chengcheng's explanation has been helpful to you, give me a "like"! If you want to learn flower growing with Chengcheng, then hit "follow"!
