Its flower language is the modest gentleman, gentle and courteous. It is a gentleman's flower, and it can also purify the air.

Water it with willow branch water before Mid-Autumn, and it will nourish roots and leaves, and bear more flowers

Generally, clivia enters a dormant period during the high temperatures of summer. Now that the cool autumn has arrived, how can we get clivia to quickly enter its growth period?

We can water clivia with water soaked from willow branches. This is mainly because the water soaked from willow branches is rich in "salicylic acid". This substance is a plant growth hormone that can promote the plant to quickly take root and grow leaves. In addition, the water soaked from willow branches also contains a certain amount of "aspirin", which has a preservative effect.

We only need to break off a few willow branches when we go to the park (here many people feel this will damage the growth of the willow tree, but actually not at all. Willow trees have strong growth ability. Breaking off one or two branches will not have any impact on it, so everyone can rest assured about this). After returning home, remove all the leaves from the willow branches, cut the branches into sections, first rinse them clean with water, and then soak them in clean water, seal the opening or put on a lid, and after 3-4 days you can take the water to water the clivia, diluted with 5 times the amount of clean water.

It is recommended to use it about once every 10 days. After consistent use, you will get particularly good results. Not only will its leaves grow stronger and stronger, but the veins on the leaves will become clearer and clearer, forming grid-patterned leaves, and it will even send out side shoots!

If you want clivia to bloom more, you also need to pay attention to these things in care

After we use willow branch soak water to water the clivia and the clivia returns to its growth period, we also need to pay attention to light, watering and fertilizing. Let's talk about them in detail below:

Light

Clivia is a light-loving flower, but it does not like direct light. It likes bright, scattered light. For home care, we need to place them in a place with bright light and good ventilation. Especially during the high temperatures of summer, it must be shaded. In addition, clivia has phototropism, so during care we need to frequently turn the pot, so that its leaves can grow evenly and look beautiful and elegant.

Watering

Clivia has thick fleshy roots and broad leaves, both with good water-storage capacity, so it is relatively drought-tolerant. Therefore, we do not need to water it too much. Generally, watering once about every 10 days is enough, but when watering, water thoroughly, and there must be no water accumulation in the pot. Also, wipe its leaves frequently with a soft cloth. When wiping the leaves, you can dip a little sesame oil on the cloth, which can make the leaves of the clivia thick and glossy, and they will be a lustrous green.

Fertilizing

Clivia is a fertilizer-loving flower. When potting it, it needs sufficient base fertilizer. You can add 5% roasted sesame seeds, which will let the clivia grow well. However, if you can also water it with fermented rice-washing water or soybean water, that is even better. When the flowering period comes, if you want the clivia to bloom more, you also need to supplement it with phosphorus fertilizer. You can spray it with a 0.3% monopotassium phosphate solution.
