When repotting Clivia in autumn, bury a little fertilizer in the soil - the flower stalk shoots up fast, there are many buds, and the flowers bloom into a ball

Clivia has thick, emerald-green leaves and bright, impressive flowers. When it is not blooming, you enjoy its leaves; when it blooms, you enjoy its flowers. Many flower lovers have grown their Clivia for many years, and it still grows especially lush, blooming abundantly every year. If you want your Clivia to bloom smoothly in winter and spring, with many flowers and vigorous growth, how should you fertilize and care for it?

Growing Clivia in autumn, repot it once, grab a handful of this "fertilizer" and toss it into the soil - side shoots sprout rapidly, and it blooms by Spring Festival!

Autumn has arrived. In early autumn, the weather is still fairly hot, so for the time being you do not need to fertilize yet. But by October, when the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees, it is the most suitable time to fertilize and repot Clivia. Once you see the leaves start to grow and the weather is no longer muggy, you can begin fertilizing.

Fertilizing Clivia has its tricks. It should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, so the leaves can grow very quickly. After another month or so, then start applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

For a Clivia you have grown for one or two years, it is best to repot it once around October in autumn. Repotting and changing the soil at this time is even more suitable than in spring. When changing the soil, you can add some peanut shells, sunflower seed shells, nut shells, fried soybeans, walnut kernels and other oily substances at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. You can also add some eggshell powder and bone meal to the potting soil.

This way it is both airy and well-draining, and it can also be converted into fertile soil fertilizer, smoothly encouraging it to grow flower buds in winter and around Spring Festival.

When repotting and changing the soil, cut off some of the shriveled, lifeless roots from the Clivia's root system, then put it in a cool place to dry a little, then plant it into the pot. At first, do not water heavily; a little water is enough.

After fertilizing, do not put it under strong sun at first. Keep it in a ventilated place with scattered light for ten days, then gradually increase the light for it, giving it more sun.

Repotting once like this and adding enough base fertilizer - if you have fish at home, watering with a little aquarium water can further encourage it to bloom. With sufficient fertilizer and ample light in autumn and winter, and maintaining a day-night temperature difference of about 10 degrees, it will not get "stuck arrows" and will smoothly shoot up its stalk and bloom.

In autumn, place it outdoors for a period of time as appropriate, giving it plenty of sunlight during the day, and at night open the window and put it by the window, or in the hallway. Cared for this way, the Clivia starts growing many new leaves, and flower buds will gradually emerge. Around Spring Festival it blooms all over the branches, especially beautiful!
