How to grow Clivia? Detailed care methods and tips

Clivia is probably quite common, with paired leaves and golden blossoms. Many friends must really love it, and its name itself suggests it is very suitable for growing at home. Today, Xiaohua will introduce to you how to care for Clivia.

The first pot of Clivia was bought from a flower shop and has been cared for for five or six years, during which it bloomed once. One very important point in caring for Clivia is to control water, because it has fleshy roots. Too much watering can very easily cause the potting soil to remain moist all the time, and over time the roots rot easily.

Usually, just place it in a spot with diffused light where it can receive some sunlight. When caring for Clivia, we must not expose it to strong light. Clivia's leaves are large, and if strong light is maintained, water loss is relatively high, which can easily cause the leaves to be sunburned.

When caring for Clivia at home, we can appropriately apply some nitrogen fertilizer, which can help its leaves grow and also make the stems thicker and stronger. Some friends say, if I want Clivia to bloom, should I apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer? Clivia needs at least 4 to 5 years to bloom, which is quite a long time. Wait until before its blooming period, when you see the flower spike emerging, and then applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer will still be in time.
