How to care for Clivia in summer? A full breakdown of watering frequency and care methods

1. Avoid strong light

In summer, you need to help shade your Clivia. It is not suited to growing in strong sunlight to begin with, and especially in summer, when the sunlight is too intense, it can easily scorch its leaves and leave burn spots. So at this time, you must give it proper shade. There are two specific ways to do this: one is to move it under the shade of a tree, and the other is to put a shade net over it.

2. Lower the temperature

When the temperature exceeds 25°C in midsummer, find a way to cool it down. The best approach is to move it directly into an air-conditioned room and keep the temperature between 18-25°C, which is better for its growth. If that is not convenient, you can also lower the temperature around it by frequently misting around it and wiping its leaves with water.

3. Watering frequency

In summer, the frequency of watering it should be increased somewhat. If the spot where you keep it stays cool and shaded the whole time, you can give it water about every 5-7 days. But if the spot where you keep it is rather dry and arid, then it is best to water it every day. Also, note that you should not choose noon to water, but rather choose the morning or the evening.
