How to grow Clivia? Master these methods for better growth

For many flower lovers, the summer heat is a terrifying presence, and many flowers will be killed without them knowing. For Clivia, do you know how to maintain it in summer?

Maintenance environment

In summer, the weather is very hot, so Clivia will enter a semi-dormant state. At this time, measures must be taken to prevent heatstroke. Place it in a semi-shaded and semi-ventilated spot. Normally, you can leave it some space. Spray water to cool and moisten it.

Watering

In summer, the temperature is especially high, so the corresponding evaporation is especially large. Under normal circumstances, it needs to be watered once a day, but the specific conditions are still determined according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil. It should be done according to the principle of watering when dry and watering thoroughly. If watering, rainwater is better.

Fertilizing

In summer, the weather is very hot and rain is especially frequent, so at this time, fertilizing should be stopped, otherwise it may cause root rot.

Flower arrow

For Clivia, its normal flowering period is from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, but in summer, its flower arrow will grow, the flowers will not be good, and the flowering period is also very short, so remove its arrow, or it will affect its subsequent flowering.

Prevent pests

In summer, if ventilation is poor, Clivia during dormancy will be attacked by scale insects, and timely prevention and treatment should be carried out.

Summer maintenance of Clivia is also a big issue, so during the care process, it should be maintained according to its growth conditions, not blindly improved.

Mr. Zhang is a flower lover and has been growing a Clivia for nearly a year. Although he loves this Clivia, he has never seen long leaves. The flower lover was especially depressed. They had learned a lot about Clivia and tried it one by one. As a result, one day I met an old gardener. He told the flower lover that in fact, as long as they mastered watering! Because if you want to grow flowers, the most important thing is to master fertilizer. Watering is especially important. Mr. Zhang returned home and began watering this Clivia as the old gardener said. I did not expect that his Clivia would soon grow new leaves. The following is about Clivia. Watering can.

The watering time and watering amount for Clivia must change with the seasons. In summer, it is hot and scorching. When the temperature exceeds 30°C, Clivia enters dormancy and the leaves grow very slowly. At this time, as long as the roots are not dry, the watering amount must be controlled and the watering interval extended. You can often pour some water on the leaf surface. In summer, water evaporates in large amounts from the soil, so do not just look at the surface of the potting soil; if the middle and lower parts of the potting soil are dry or wet, it should not be watered. In summer, do not always pour water and water. The time of watering is very related to the season.

In spring and winter, the indoor morning is the lower temperature time of the day. When watering in the morning, the water temperature is close to the temperature of the potting soil, which is beneficial to plant growth. In summer and autumn, the temperature is high, the air temperature is high, the amount of water evaporation is large, and the potting soil dries quickly, so watering at night is better, because the temperature drops at night, and after watering, it slowly moistens the soil in the pot. It will not evaporate quickly; if watered in the morning, the temperature will rise immediately after watering, and it cannot penetrate and soak into the potting soil, and then begins to evaporate in large amounts, making the water content of the potting soil increase. This is the Clivia family in Chapter 6. Maintenance quickly decreases, which is not conducive to the normal growth of the plant.

In the hot summer, flowers can be sprinkled in the morning and evening every day. Seedlings and young plants can be directly soaked on the leaves. For large flowers, it is better to soak them in the flower pot. The water requirement of Clivia plants during growth, that is, the humidity in the potting soil, is usually maintained at 40%. Control should be flexible according to the season and climate changes. In spring, it should be watered generously and thoroughly; in summer, it should be frequent but light; in autumn, it should not be dry or wet; in winter, observe whether it is dry or wet.
