How to care for Clivia in autumn? Mastering these methods is key

  1. Scientific topdressing

  If you buried base fertilizer when potting the Clivia, there is generally no need to topdress it in the early stage after potting; otherwise, after potting is completed and the plant has settled in, it needs to be topdressed in time. And after repotting, you can use organic nutrient solution to topdress it to strengthen the roots, so as to satisfy its big appetite and ensure the leaves grow thick, plump and tender green.

  At this time, we need to first apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer, and then during the bud stage apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Only in this way can we topdress the potted Clivia in a targeted way, and the plant can maintain growth according to the effect we need.

  2. Reasonable water control

  Because the autumn wind is relatively strong and the air circulates quickly, the watering interval should also be relatively shorter. At this time, we can prepare a disposable chopstick, then insert it into the soil along the inner edge of the flower pot, then take it out to check the moisture condition of the chopstick, and then water as appropriate.

  Of course, we can also use a plant and flower detector connected to a mobile phone, and then by checking and analyzing the data, determine whether it is necessary to water or the right time to water.

  3. Repot in time

  Because the Clivia has grown for one year after potting, the nutrients in the potting soil have basically been used up. At this time, we need to repot and change the soil for the Clivia in time. Generally, repotting and changing the soil for Clivia should be done once a year. The soil preparation method when repotting is generally suitable by using leaf mold, bark, and peanut shells, then mixing them in a ratio of 5:3:2, and using them after mixing evenly.
