Clivia Blooming Time and How to Use the Right Methods to Make It Bloom Every Year
When does Clivia bloom?
Clivia's normal flowering period is between February and April. That is, it starts blooming around the time of Chinese New Year. But many of the ones commonly seen on the market do not bloom at a fixed time, because their blooming is controlled artificially.
Clivia's blooming can be controlled artificially. As long as it goes through temperature difference treatment, that is, a large temperature difference, it will be able to bloom. For Clivia, generally within a temperature difference range of 10 to 15 degrees, controlling it for one to two months will bring out the flower scape. A large temperature difference between morning and evening is the prerequisite for it to develop flower buds and differentiate flower buds.
If Clivia is to bloom, in autumn we must give it sufficient light. In autumn there is a temperature difference between morning and evening. Sufficient light. A temperature difference of around 10 degrees sustained for about one month will bring out the flower scape. During this period, be sure to supplement it with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It is best to choose water-soluble fertilizer and apply it two to three times a month. Continue supplying it until its flower scape grows out. Stop fertilizing when it is about to split open. Then let it bloom.
Give sufficient light and an appropriate temperature difference as well as sufficient fertilizer, and there is one more most important thing: the Clivia plant must reach a sufficient age, that is, from sowing the seed to blooming takes about three to four years. We can observe its leaves. If there are more than 12 leaves, it proves that it has reached the age to bloom. Only then can we artificially control its blooming and help it bloom, and only then will it be able to bloom.
