How to grow clivia with beer: get the ratio of water to beer right

The beer we normally drink is brewed with hops, so it is rich in many vitamins. Some people use beer to water their clivia. So what are the methods of growing clivia with beer? Next, let me walk you through the relevant knowledge.

Relevant methods of growing clivia with beer

1. The ratio question

When using beer to supply the nutrients our clivia needs, we cannot water it with beer directly; it must be mixed in the right ratio, preferably diluted at a ratio of 1:30 beer to water, so that watering the clivia this way is unlikely to damage its roots.

3. Timing control

Because clivia is a plant that does not much like sunlight, when we water it with beer it is best to do so around the time the sun is about to set each day. This way the water is less likely to evaporate and cause the clivia's branches and leaves to turn yellow. It also helps the clivia absorb the nutrients in the beer.

4. Direct spraying

When we water the clivia with beer, we can also spray it directly onto its branches and leaves, which keeps the clivia's leaves glossy and makes the flowers more vivid too.

5. Watering by season

Although clivia can be watered with beer, it cannot be used in summer. This is because summer temperatures are too high, causing water to evaporate quickly, which makes clivia prone to pests and diseases. Spring and autumn are the most suitable times to water with beer. In winter, because it is the clivia's dormancy period, there is no need to supplement nutrients.
