Its leaves, flowers and fruit are all beautiful, and it is known for flowers in one season, fruit in three seasons, and foliage in all four seasons. Its flowering period lasts as long as forty to fifty days, and it can bloom in early spring, making it an important festival flower. The clivia is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant, excellent in leaf, flower and fruit, and its foliage is even more rewarding to view than its flowers.
Many plants can absorb carbon dioxide, and the clivia is no exception. During its growth and development, although the clivia can absorb water and mineral nutrients from the soil to synthesize organic matter, this is still not enough for its entire physiological activity; it must use sunlight, temperature, carbon dioxide and water to carry out photosynthesis. This is of extremely great significance to the growth and development of the clivia, to beautifying the room, to purifying indoor air, and to improving people's health.
The benefits of the clivia are also shown in absorbing dust. The clivia plant, especially its broad and thick leaves, has many stomata and fine hairs, and can secrete a large amount of mucus. Through air circulation, it can absorb a large amount of dust, dirt and harmful gases, playing a filtering role on indoor air, reducing the dust content in indoor spaces, and making the air clean. Therefore, the clivia is praised by people as an ideal "absorption machine" and "dust collector".
Besides its ornamental benefits, the clivia also has medicinal uses; the clivia has a certain medicinal value. The whole plant is used as medicine. The plant body contains lycorine and clivine, and also contains the trace element selenium. Pharmaceutical workers use clivia plants containing these chemical components for scientific research, and they have already been used to treat cancer, hepatitis, cirrhotic ascites and poliovirus, etc. Experiments have proved that the lycorine extracted from clivia leaves and roots not only has antiviral effects, but also anticancer effects.
