The benefits of keeping flowers are very many, but new flower lovers are advised not to keep flowers that are relatively hard to keep alive. You can start with some easy-to-keep flowers, such as: pothos, spider plant, snake plant, money tree, succulents, clivia, and so on, some flowers that are easy and simple to keep. Today I will first share with you a little trick for growing clivia, and this little trick is also very suitable for other plants. Now let's start today's topic, how to grow clivia well.

1. Willow branches

First, let me introduce the root-growing water that clivia super loves. This water is water soaked with willow branches. Why do clivia love water soaked with willow branches so much? Let me explain the principle below. The willow is a plant that is very easy to see whether in the south or the north, and it also grows very vigorously. In places as hot as the south and as cold as the north, willows can all grow very well, and this lies in the characteristics of the willow.

The main reason willows survive so well is that willow trees contain a large amount of salicylic acid and also a small amount of aspirin. These two substances play a key role in the growth of willows and are also greatly beneficial to the growth of willows. The salicylic acid contained in willows can promote plant growth and development and rooting and sprouting. Simply put, salicylic acid is a kind of plant growth hormone. The aspirin also contained in willows has an antiseptic effect and can prevent plant roots from rotting. Now you know why willows grow so well: it is because willow trees contain salicylic acid and aspirin. Later on, many expert flower growers used this characteristic of willows on the plants they grew. From the experience given by those senior flower growers, water soaked with willow branches has a very good effect on clivia and orchids.

Below I will introduce how to use willow branches to care for plants. First, we need to find a willow tree, take some relatively good branches from the willow tree, remove the leaves from the branches, or you can leave a small number of leaves. Then use a small knife to make small cuts one by one on the willow branches; it is recommended to make a cut every 3-4 cm. At this time, find a container, put the prepared willow branches into the container, then fill the container with 2/3 clean water, and after the water is added, seal the mouth of the container. Generally, soaking for 3-4 days is enough, and then use the soaked water to water the clivia. It is now autumn and the weather is gradually cooling down. Using it on clivia at this time is best; it can speed up the growth rate of clivia and also prevent root rot. Even something very good cannot be used every day. It is recommended that flower lovers use this soaked water 2-3 times a month. If you can keep using it for a long time, during the flowering period of clivia, the flower stalk will also shoot up very quickly, the flowers produced will be big and beautiful, and the leaf veins of the clivia will also be very clear and distinct.

2. Clivia care

If flower lovers want clivia to grow well and produce big and beautiful flowers, then care for clivia is certainly indispensable. Using willow branch water is a little method for growing clivia well, but the most important thing is still daily care.

1. Light

Clivia really dislikes direct sunlight; if the sun shines directly at noon, the leaves will wilt by evening. If you grow clivia at home, you can place it in a bright place, and this place must maintain a well-ventilated environment. If the temperature at noon is relatively high, be sure to cool the clivia down and also take shade measures. After placing the clivia, you need to turn the flower pot every few days. Doing this allows the clivia to receive light from every angle, and only in this way can the clivia grow evenly.

2. Watering

Clivia is relatively drought-tolerant, and its thick, fleshy leaves can store water. When watering clivia, you do not need to water too much; just keep the potting soil moist. Usually, when you have nothing else to do, you can use some beer water or sesame oil water on the clivia. Before using these waters on the clivia, be sure to dilute them, and after dilution, use a cloth to wipe the clivia leaves with them. What needs attention when watering clivia is that when watering, never pour water into the center of the clivia leaves.

3. Fertilizing

Clivia relatively likes fertiliser with certain properties. Before potting the clivia, we can add some nutrients to the potting soil. For example: fried sesame seeds or castor beans. During the growing period of clivia, you can water it with some fermented rice-washing water or soybean water, and when the clivia is about to bloom, you can apply some phosphorus fertiliser to it. This can let the clivia grow better, and when it blooms, it will bloom very beautifully and amazingly.

That is all for today's sharing, and I hope it can be helpful to flower lovers. If there is anything you still do not understand, you can leave a message in the comment section, and I will answer them one by one for everyone.
