How to fertilize Clivia? What fertilizer is best

1. Fertilization timing

Clivia (Clivia miniata) has a relatively high demand for fertilizer. First of all, when planting or repotting, base fertilizer is fairly necessary and is very important for its later growth; repotting once every 2 years or so is generally enough.

2. Types of fertilizer

The base fertilizer used is some solid fertilizer, such as animal manure or some compost. For topdressing during the growing period, some solid fertilizer can be used, and liquid fertilizer can also be used.

3. Fertilization methods

1. After choosing the base fertilizer and preparing the growing medium, you can mix them evenly and then plant the plant in. When topdressing, if you choose solid fertilizer, you can dig into the soil, about 2-3 cm is better, and then bury it; if you choose liquid fertilizer, then after diluting it, just sprinkle it on the surface of the soil. No matter which method is used, the amount needs to be strictly controlled.

2. Clivia does not need to be fertilized too many times; the interval can be 20-30 days, and the specific interval can be adjusted according to its growth state. If the growth rate is slower, it can be fertilized a few more times.

4. Precautions

1. 2-3 days after fertilizing, you can water once, which can play a diluting role.

2. In addition, if Clivia is in a dormant state, then it is not suitable to fertilize; wait until the dormant period is over before resuming fertilization.
