How to care for a clivia after it blooms? Do these things well and the flowering period will last longer

I. Post-bloom management methods

1. Control watering: During the flowering period, you need to control watering for the clivia. This is because its water requirement decreases during the flowering period, and watering heavily may cause it to drop its flowers. In addition, at this time do not spray water on its flowers, because this may cause the flowers to rot and wither prematurely.

2. Control fertilizing: If you already applied flower fertilizer before it bloomed, then you do not need to fertilize during the flowering period. If no flower fertilizer was applied before blooming, you can apply a phosphorus fertilizer once at this time to provide the nutrients it needs for blooming. But the concentration of the flower fertilizer must be low, because it is very sensitive at this time, and flower fertilizer with too high a concentration will cause it to finish flowering prematurely.

II. Tips for extending the flowering period

1. Remove the stamens: When it is blooming, if you do not want to breed seeds, you can cut off all the stamens inside its flowers. This can prevent it from finishing flowering prematurely due to pollination.

2. Provide shading: It mostly blooms in summer, and the light is rather intense at that time. If you can properly shade part of the light for it, you can also make its flowers last a bit longer.
