After the Start of Autumn, use a bit of this on your clivia, and an old flower farmer says it can quickly revive it

Clivia is a flower loved by many gardening enthusiasts, with a dignified and graceful plant shape, verdant and upright leaves, leathery, dark green, large and colorful flowers, and a flowering period lasting forty to fifty days.

Clivia enters a semi-dormant or dormant period during the high summer temperatures. As the weather gradually turns cool after the Start of Autumn, clivia also begins to slowly revive. I know an old flower farmer, and he says that after the Start of Autumn, using a bit of "it" can make clivia quickly revive!

Actually, the "it" the old flower farmer mentioned is willow branch water, because willow branches contain a large amount of salicylic acid, willow acid, etc., which can stimulate the root system, increase the activity of clivia, and let it quickly take root, sprout and come back to life.

Specific method: cut one-year-old, tender and robust willow branches, then cut them into small segments, crush them and put them into a large bucket, then add an appropriate amount of clean water to soak, and soak for more than 4 hours before use.

Take the supernatant liquid and directly pour it into the clivia's potting soil, pouring once every 3-4 days, and it can make the clivia quickly come back to life and promote sprouting and growth.

One more thing to add: clivia likes rich fertilizer. As its activity increases, the nutrients it needs also increase, but do not apply concentrated fertilizer, as it will damage the root system. So choose a fertilizer with high and long-lasting effectiveness but that causes relatively great damage to the root system - you can apply worm castings.

You can go to a park or roadside to collect some worm castings, then sun-dry them for 1-2 days to let them dry completely, then grind them into powder for use.

Dig a shallow ring-shaped trench near the edge of the clivia pot, then sprinkle the worm casting powder on it, the amount should not be too much, then cover it with soil. Each time you water, the nutrients will seep into the soil with the water and be absorbed by the root system, promoting growth.

That is all for the care of clivia. If fellow gardening enthusiasts have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
