Growing Clivias in September: Feed Them This Once a Week, and in 30 Days They'll Grow Grid-Patterned Leaves and Shoot Up Flower Spikes When Winter Comes

As people's living standards rise and living conditions improve, more and more people are paying attention to healthy living and good health. So many people hope that the environment they live in can become healthy and cozy. Keeping some flowers and plants at home can not only decorate the room, but also purify the air, absorb harmful substances and release fresh oxygen.

Many friends like to keep potted plants at home such as Clivias, Christmas cacti, kalanchoes, spider plants, pothos, asparagus ferns and so on. If you want them to grow dense and strong, you need to take care of them regularly: watering, fertilizing, pruning, ventilation and so on. Now it is the cool month of September, which is also a key period for Clivias to absorb nutrients and speed up their growth, so fertilizing Clivias at this time is very necessary. When fertilizing Clivias in autumn, generally two kinds of fertilizer are chosen; they can not only make the leaves grow lush and green, but also let the Clivias bloom beautiful flowers in winter.

As the saying goes, to grow flowers you must grow the roots. If you want your Clivia to grow dense and strong, you must build up a plump root system. So here is a common little pill for growing flowers: aspirin. It is a common household anti-inflammatory medicine, but aspirin is rich in acetylsalicylic acid, which is a plant growth hormone that can promote rapid rooting and leaf growth in plants.

So when growing Clivias in autumn, you can dissolve one aspirin tablet in 500 grams of water, and pour the dissolved aqueous solution into the Clivia pot. Using this aqueous solution every time you water can make the plant quickly grow emerald green, grid-patterned leaves.

Watering Clivias with the aspirin aqueous solution can promote the growth of roots and leaves and enhance the plant's ability to absorb nutrients from the soil, but if you want the Clivia to bloom on schedule and produce beautiful flowers, you need to supplement it with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. This is because the development of flower buds requires large amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. So before winter arrives, spray the Clivia leaves with a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution every week, which lets the Clivia quickly absorb phosphorus and potassium, then promotes flower bud development, and in winter it will push out sturdy flower spikes and bloom beautiful flowers.
