When does a clivia normally send up its flower stalk

A clivia usually sends up its flower stalk around mid-to-late November to December, and in some cases a little later, around February to March. If a clivia you are growing does not send up a flower stalk, you need to deal with it promptly. You can put it in a dark place to encourage it to send up the stalk, or water it with diluted beer or baijiu, or increase the temperature difference to help it send up the stalk faster.

I. Which month it sends up the flower stalk

Under normal circumstances, a clivia sends up its flower stalk from November to mid-to-late December, and by January it will gradually come into bloom. Sometimes the plant may send up its stalk a little later, around February to March. This has a certain connection with everyday care, so if you want it to send up its stalk faster and better, you need to give it proper care.

II. Methods to make it send up the stalk quickly

1. Shading: this method is very simple; you just need to move the plant to a dark spot and not let it receive sunlight. It is best to also keep the temperature at around 18-28°C, and after a few days of this care it will send up its stalk.

2. Warm water: this is done to create a larger temperature difference. During the day, put it in warm water at 30-40 degrees, soak it for about 3 minutes, then take it out, and at night place it by a window to grow. If the temperature difference is big enough, it can send up its stalk quickly.

3. Alcohol: take the baijiu left over from everyday drinking, or you can also use beer, and dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:5. Finally, pour it at the plant's root zone, and after about a week the flower stalk will have emerged.
