If your clivia won't grow, use these two foolproof fertilizers; netizens say 3 months feels like 3 years of growing

Clivia is a very common household plant. In the past, clivia was fairly expensive, and some people even posted online about clivia selling for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Of course, those were only extremely well-grown clivia. Now the price of clivia is relatively cheap, so many people grow clivia.

In the process of caring for clivia, problems always come up, and slow growth in clivia is the most common problem. Clivia itself grows rather slowly, and if our care methods are improper, its growth almost comes to a standstill. So how do we solve this problem? Below, let's take a look: when clivia isn't growing at all, we only need to use two foolproof fertilizers, and as netizens say, growing it for 3 months is like others growing it for 3 years!

Why are they called foolproof fertilizers? Because after using these two fertilizers, we hardly need to use any other fertilizers, and the growth rate of clivia will increase greatly. These two fertilizers are distiller's grains cake fertilizer and pine needles and wood shavings.

Distiller's grains cake fertilizer

Distiller's grains are the residue left over from making baijiu or yellow rice wine. This residue is generally the husks of grains, and these can be used as a flower fertilizer. Moreover, distiller's grains even skip the fermentation process, because during brewing they have already gone through fermentation. Distiller's grains are rich in organic matter and are a slightly acidic material, which is very helpful for improving soil structure and looseness. Distiller's grains also contain a great many beneficial microbial communities. When using them, we can just use them as a base fertilizer or bury them in the potting soil. After they slowly decompose, they will become fertilizer that plants can absorb. They can greatly promote and speed up the growth of clivia.

Pine needles and wood shavings

Pine needles and wood shavings are a very good flower fertilizer. They have two very big advantages: one is that they can increase the air permeability and drainage performance of the potting soil. The other is that after decomposing, they can provide clivia with a large amount of nutrients.

We all know that clivia has fleshy roots and has relatively high requirements for potting soil, especially in terms of air permeability and drainage, with very high demands. If air permeability or drainage is poor, water accumulation easily occurs when we water, and water accumulation very easily causes this kind of fleshy root to rot, which greatly hinders the growth of clivia. When using them, we can directly add pine needles or wood shavings into the potting soil, which can greatly improve the soil's drainage performance and air permeability, and is greatly beneficial to the growth of clivia, greatly beneficial to the growth of clivia.

These two fertilizers are both fertilizers that clivia likes very much. When using them, be sure to remember to ferment them in advance. The fermentation process is relatively simple: just pile them together to compost, keep it going for about 15 days to 20 days, and then fermentation will be completely finished, so they can be used.

If you have clivia growing at home, you can try this method. Clivia that hasn't grown for one or two years will shoot up rapidly after applying this fertilizer. If you find it useful, like, save and follow. We update all kinds of little knowledge and tips about flower care every day, and we hope it can help everyone.
