When it comes to clivia, I believe many flower lovers are familiar with it. It has broad leaves, all growing in opposite pairs, looking like a huge fan. Even just its foliage is beautiful, and its flowers are gorgeous with elegant shapes, earning it the love of many flower lovers. However, although many flower lovers are very fond of clivia, they cannot grow it well. Many flower lovers' clivia never blooms and grows especially slowly, not even growing one or two leaves in a year, which distresses many flower lovers. But wanting to grow clivia well is actually not difficult. You just need to carefully understand clivia's habits and find some small tricks, and then you can grow clivia very well. So today's sharing topic is:

Mr. Wang grows clivia: one can of "it" every 10 days, 30 flowers per stem, and it blooms "twice" in a row!

I hope this is helpful for your clivia care.

Flower lover Mr. Wang is very fond of clivia. The clivia he grows all bloom especially abundantly, with bright colors and glossy leaves. He has a 5-year-old clivia, and a single flower scape has 30 flowers. Each time it blooms, it blooms twice in a row. How did he do it? He said he just gives it a can of "Lehu" every 10 days. Why exactly is that?

Isn't Lehu an energy drink? How can it be given to clivia?

At this point Mr. Wang smiled and said to me, look at the nutrition facts table on the can. I took a look, and wow, they are all great materials for growing flowers. For example, Lehu contains vitamin B6, vitamin B12, sodium citrate, inositol and other nutrients. These are really all very suitable for clivia care and very beneficial to the growth of clivia's root system.

Mr. Wang said he also discovered by accident that Lehu could be used to grow clivia. Once he bought a can of Lehu, did not finish drinking it, and left it on the windowsill. Then he forgot about it. When he found it the next day, he felt it was a bit of a waste to throw it away, so he wondered whether it could be used to grow flowers. After reading the ingredient list, he did not hesitate to pour it onto a pot of clivia, and using this clivia as a test, he watered it once every 10 days with overnight Lehu. After using it continuously for 3 months, unexpectedly this clivia grew especially fast, and its leaves were especially glossy and shiny.

From then on, when Mr. Wang grew clivia, apart from adding sufficient base fertilizer when potting, he no longer applied any other fertilizer. He just watered it with Lehu, and as a result every pot burst with growth, and the flowers bloomed abundantly and vibrantly.

In fact, besides this kind of beverage being usable for growing clivia, beer can be used too. We can dip a soft cloth in beer to wipe the leaves, which can also make clivia's leaves especially glossy and less likely to attract dust.

As long as clivia has sufficient nutrients, it has the strength to bloom. When potting, flower lovers can add 10% roasted sesame seeds or bone meal, and good results can be achieved. For home clivia care, you can place it on a sunny south-facing balcony. Except for the high temperatures of summer when shading is needed, at other times you can give it sufficient light. However, because clivia is phototropic, you should often turn the pot. When watering, water only when the soil is dry and stop when it is moist; there must be no water accumulation in the pot, because clivia's fleshy roots have a strong water-storage function, so when caring for clivia, it is better to keep it dry than wet. It is recommended to water once every 5-10 days. When watering, pour along the edge of the pot, and do not let it flow into the center of the clivia's leaves, otherwise it may cause heart rot.

Thank you again for reading. I am very happy to walk with you on the path of growing flowers!
