Thick, fleshy leaves, deep leaf veins, and fast flower spike emergence in clivia - it all comes down to this one little trick

There are quite a few friends who like growing clivia, but not many who grow it well. Many flower lovers ask, how can you grow clivia well? We need to talk about this from several aspects.

1. If you want clivia to grow well, fertilizer and water must keep up. The soil should be loose, breathable, and fertile. Currently, the soils on the market that are more suitable for clivia include leaf mold soil and pine needle soil. These are relatively rich in nutrients, and they are loose and breathable, which is very beneficial for the root system of clivia to spread. But there is one condition: you must never let it lack water.

2. If you want clivia to grow well, you need to fertilize it regularly. During the growing season of clivia, apply a thin fertilizer twice a month. Be sure to apply thin fertilizer frequently, so the root system can always feel the presence of fertilizer, but it should not be too concentrated. Only then will its root system grow well.

3. Do not grow clivia in a large pot. Change the pot once a year. When changing the pot, add some base fertilizer. For the base fertilizer, you can use bone meal, cake fertilizer, and so on. Do not add too much. Usually, water with a little thin fertilizer more often. Only this meets the growth needs of clivia.

4. If the summer temperature is too high, clivia will have a dormant period. At this time, we can place it in a shaded place, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and let it quietly go dormant. It can also be placed in a cool environment, where it will continue to grow.

5. When autumn arrives, it is time for clivia to grow. At this time, do not bring clivia indoors too early. Let it grow for a period in an environment with a large temperature difference between day and night, which is beneficial for sending up flower spikes and blooming in winter.
