Detailed Explanation of Clivia Care Techniques in the Hot Season

The temperature for Clivia is 20-25°C. When the temperature exceeds 30°C, it enters a dormant state. This is the most difficult period for Clivia. If not maintained properly, it can easily lead to chlorosis, stem rot and root rot. To bring Clivia safely through the hot summer, the following measures need to be taken:

1, shading and cooling. In summer, place the flower pot in an air-conditioned room to cool it. If there is no air-conditioning equipment, place the flower pot inside the window of a north-facing room, pay attention to the ventilation of the window, or place it in a shaded spot in the courtyard. Sprinkle water 3 to 4 times a day, and water every 2 to 2 days - partial watering.

2, laying coarse sand for cooling. Lay a layer of coarse sand on a north-facing balcony, place the pot on the rough surface, and spray water 3 to 4 times a day. When the moisture contained in the coarse sand absorbs heat from the air, the purpose of cooling can be achieved.

Pool cooling. Place blocks wrapped with hard W panels or cement precast slabs on a water tank filled with cold water, then place the pot on the W or cement slab. The moisture will evaporate through heat, thereby increasing the humidity of the air and lowering the temperature. In addition, pay attention to watering in moderation; if watered too much, excessive moisture in the potting soil can easily cause root rot. At the same time, control fertilization; if the temperature cannot drop below 25°C, generally do not fertilize; if it can drop below 25°C, it can be applied every 15-20 days to promote growth with a thin liquid fertilizer, so that it will not sleep or will shorten its dormant period.
