Did you water your clivia correctly? Let me teach you the right way to water it

Clivia can also be grown hydroponically, but when growing it in water, using the right water is very important. So, when growing clivia hydroponically, how should you use water correctly?

Choosing the water for hydroponic clivia

When growing clivia hydroponically, choosing the water is fairly important, because you cannot use tap water directly.

In fact, you can put the tap water into a transparent container and leave it out in the sun to be exposed, so that some of the substances in the tap water will settle out. Generally, it is better when the water turns green in color.

Once the water has been treated, you can start the hydroponic growing. Be careful that the water level is moderate; if it is too high, the clivia's pseudobulb will be submerged and rot. If it is too shallow, the plant will not get a sufficient supply of water.

When growing clivia hydroponically, pay attention to water quality

When growing clivia hydroponically, one very important point is to pay attention to the water used. If the water quality is too poor, it is very unfavorable to the growth of the clivia, and the water will lack oxygen and nutrients. So you need to change the water frequently.

Secondly, when growing clivia hydroponically, over time, algae will appear, and the algae will affect the roots' breathing, so it must be removed frequently. You can gently brush it off with a bristle brush.

In addition, you also need to frequently check whether the water in the hydroponic container contains enough oxygen. The method of checking is fairly simple: you can put a few small fish into the hydroponic container and see whether the small fish can swim normally. If you find that the small fish always float to the surface, it means the oxygen in the water is not enough, and you need to replenish the oxygen in time.
