Growing flowers is now a nationwide movement, and many people have joined the ranks of flower growers. Growing flowers brings us happiness, which is very rare in this fast-paced life, and it also brings certain benefits to our physical and mental health. So what we want to talk about today is Clivia. Clivia is actually a rather unusual plant, and more and more people are growing Clivia now. It is simply the darling of the flower market, but Clivia actually has one big problem.

I believe friends who have grown Clivia all know that Clivia is a plant that is very difficult to bloom. Some friends even grow a Clivia for five years and although there are no problems such as rotten leaves or yellow leaves, it still never blooms. So why exactly is that? Actually, when a plant encounters this kind of bottleneck period, it is in a growth stagnation phase. Once it reaches this point, we need to find a way to use some external substances to stimulate it, promote its growth, and make it bloom!

Clivia won't bloom for 5 years. Make the "expired pills" at home into "water", and the roots will grow like crazy and it will bloom!

So the water made from the expired pills at home that we are talking about only needs to be poured into the pot of the Clivia, and even a five-year-old Clivia will still bloom. First of all, this kind of water needs to be made from three common expired pills at home. These three common expired pills at home are aspirin, vitamin B2 tablets, and ferrous sulfate tablets. These pills respectively contain the elements needed for plant blooming and growth. So we only need to follow the detailed steps below to make it and we can solve the problem of a five-year-old Clivia not blooming!

1, Vitamin B2 tablets

So we know that many families keep vitamin B tablets on hand, because many people's bodies always lack various vitamins, which leads to all kinds of minor health problems. So it is very normal to keep vitamin B tablets at home. Many people may only take a portion of the medicine when taking it, and the remaining pills are just left unused. But we know that tablets all have a shelf life, and once they expire they cannot continue to be taken. At this time, we should not casually throw them into the trash.

Crush vitamin B2 into powder, then mix it with clean water, dilute at a ratio of 1:500, and directly use it to water the Clivia. Similarly, vitamin C and vitamin complex tablets can also be used in the same way.

2, Aspirin

When it comes to aspirin, I believe everyone is familiar with it. In many people's homes, aspirin may only be used as a medicine for reducing inflammation, treating headaches, and other illnesses. But aspirin not only has a therapeutic effect on the human body, it can also play an important role when used on plants. Aspirin contains a large amount of salicylic acid. This salicylic acid can promote the growth of the roots and stems of flowers. So for plants like Clivia, the problem of not blooming always lies in the roots.

We only need to crush aspirin and dissolve it, mix and dilute it with clean water at a ratio of 1:300, then put the water on the balcony to ferment for about three days, and then we can directly pour the pepper water into the soil of the pot of the Clivia that is not blooming.

3, Ferrous sulfate tablets

Ferrous sulfate tablets are a must-have medicine at home for people with anemia in daily life. Ferrous sulfate tablets are rich in iron. When iron is used on plants, it can gradually improve plants with yellowing leaves and withered leaves until they recover completely. So if you have ferrous sulfate tablets at home, even if they are expired, we should not throw them away. Directly crush them into powder, then dilute and mix them with clean water, and pour it into the potting soil. Then even a Clivia that has not bloomed for five years will grow roots like crazy and slowly bloom!

So if your Clivia at home has not bloomed for several years, then we do not need to worry. Use the expired pills at home, make them into water, and directly pour it into the soil, and the roots of the Clivia will grow like crazy, and it may even bloom! Thank you for reading.
