What to do when a clivia is "arrow-stuck"? Do these few things and the flowers will bloom stiff and upright, with glossy green leaves

Friends who keep clivias at home will inevitably run into the situation where the clivia gets "arrow-stuck." Hearing this, many people get confused - what is arrow-stuck? Huahua will explain it to everyone: arrow-stuck is when the clivia is blooming, and the flowers grow out from the gap in the middle of the leaves.

Now you know, right? Observe the clivia in your home. If the arrow-stuck situation appears, be sure to remember to take measures in time. Don't underestimate this arrow-stuck - if it isn't handled well, the clivia may wither and die.

So what should be done when this problem appears? Huahua will give everyone a tip.

If this problem appears, the first thing to do is to pry open the clivia's leaves and fix them in place with string. Note that throughout the whole process, you must be gentle to prevent unnecessary damage to the clivia's leaves. After fixing them, you can also use warm water (around 25 degrees) with a small amount of beer added to water the clivia. This method is actually mainly an emergency method.

If you want to avoid the arrow-stuck situation in clivias over the long term, you still need to put effort into daily care.

The most suitable temperature for clivia growth is 15-25°C. If the temperature is too low or too high, it is unsuitable for clivia growth, and in this situation the clivia is very prone to poor growth. When the temperature is too low, the clivia's flowers are very hard to push out, leading to the arrow-stuck condition. So when you observe that the clivia is about to bloom, it is best to control the temperature well.

Not only must the temperature be controlled well, the temperature difference must also be controlled well. Clivia is a plant that likes a large day-night temperature difference. If the day-night temperature difference is not large, then the clivia's flowers will fail to push out.

If watering is not done well, the arrow-stuck situation can also appear. When a clivia pushes out its arrow, it needs nutrients and water. Generally, if it lacks water at this time, it will affect the clivia's blooming. During this period, you should water a bit more appropriately and increase the amount of water.

Clivias in the growth period actually need a large amount of fertilizer. If the arrow-stuck situation appears, you should consider whether it has not been given enough fertilizer on ordinary days. If nutrition cannot keep up, the clivia's flower arrow grows slowly, let alone pushing out the arrow.

Another cause is that the pressure on the clivia's bulb is too great. During the growth period, pay timely attention to changes in the clivia's bulb. At this time, if you find that the bulb is bulging and also has one side enlarged, this indicates that the clivia's flower arrow is developing. During the development period, fertilization should be stopped for half a month, otherwise the pressure on the bulb will increase.

I wonder if everyone understands these few causes that have been found for you? If you care for a clivia scientifically and reasonably on ordinary days, then generally there won't be much of a problem. Even if the arrow-stuck situation appears, don't worry - with careful care it will get better.
