The soil of "Clivia" is changed to "it", and red flowers bloom every year, and the leaves are so green that they appear oily!

If you haven’t grown flowers yet, quickly plant a pot of plants at home! Of course, the first potted plant must be a plant that is easier to cultivate, and Clivia is a better choice. Clivia is well-known in the flower gardening world for being easy to grow. Basically, novices start their flower cultivation journey with Clivia. It can be said that everyone has a pot at their disposal.

However, Clivia is easy to maintain, but it is still a bit difficult to make this Clivia bloom. Clivia flowers relatively slowly, so friends who want to plant Clivia must make preparations and homework so that they can be prepared for Clivia in the future. It is said that Clivia needs supplementary nutrients to bloom. Friends who have just started planting Clivia may not know this. Today Huahua will tell you what kind of fertilizer does Clivia need to eat to produce red flowers?

Feces We have always heard that some people use animal excrement to grow flowers. The plants grown in this way will absorb more nutrients, allowing them to grow better and healthier flowers. Although animal feces is not easy to dispose of, it smells and is quite dirty. If you are a mysophobic friend, it is best not to use it haha. However, animal manure is rich in organic nutrients. After digestion by the animal's stomach, plants will absorb it better. If you raise poultry at home, you might as well give it a try.

Humus soil Humus soil should be familiar to everyone. This is the soil we often use, and it is also a relatively well-known nutritious substance. As an organic soil, humus soil is a very good soil. Often used as a substrate for plants just potted. If you are a novice friend growing flowers, using this kind of soil is more suitable for the growth of Clivia. It also solves the problem of not fertilizing the Clivia, so it is more suitable for novices.

If you are still using ordinary soil, it is better to replace the soil with humus soil, which will be more conducive to the growth of plants!

Plant ash is also one of the more commonly used soils for growing plants. After burning, the leaves and soil ferment into vegetation ash, which is also a very good choice as fertilizer for Clivia. In winter, the weather is relatively cold, and plants may suffer from frost damage, etc. The use of plant ash can solve this problem very well. Plant ash is not only rich in nutrients, but also has a very good thermal insulation effect, which is more suitable for use in winter!

Has everyone learned it? Use it now!

Clivia cultivation methods and precautions

The flowers of Clivia are not as magnificent as peonies, nor as fragrant as glory flowers, nor as gorgeous as roses, but they have sword-like green leaves, generous and bright; fire-like red flowers, open in pavilions, red and green complement each other, and are ideal potted flowers to beautify the environment. The following is an introduction to the cultivation methods and precautions for Clivia. Hope you like it!

【Growth habits of Clivia】

Early spring:

After hibernation, the root system of Clivia begins to revive. Due to the lack of nutrient supply, the leaves will become dehydrated once exposed to wind and sun, resulting in reduced brightness, hardness, and thickness. In severe cases, yellow leaves and rotten leaves may even occur. Therefore, you should pay more attention at this time: Clivia is drought-tolerant but not wet-tolerant, and the pot plant can be kept generally moist. Overwatering may cause root rot.

Summer: Avoid sun exposure

Clivia does not have strict requirements for light. It likes semi-shade, but is afraid of direct light. Because the air temperature and soil temperature are high in summer, the root system is prone to disorder, and the absorption of nutrients is unbalanced, leading to phenomena such as neck pulling and leaf shifting. In addition, due to strong sunlight, transpiration is greatly increased. If watered improperly, the leaves will appear old, scorched, and even wilted. Therefore, the requirements for growing in midsummer are:

Shading. It is best to place the potted plants in a shade shed or under the shade of a tree, and avoid direct sunlight at noon.

Cooling: In addition to placing the potted plants in a cool and ventilated place, it is also necessary to spray water frequently to cool down. The temperature should be controlled below 25°C and the humidity should be in an environment of 60 to 70%.

Weight loss: When Clivia is at 25℃, it is necessary to lose weight appropriately or stop fertilizing. Applying too much fertilizer will burn the fleshy roots.

Watering When the pot soil is semi-dry, water it, but water it thoroughly. Do not let water drip into the leaves to avoid heart rot.

Autumn: Avoid rain and spraying

In autumn, the climate becomes cooler. During the days of continuous autumn rain, adult Clivias have more opportunities to cut seeds and bloom. At this time, if they are exposed to rain or overwatered, it will lead to rotten roots, rotten arrows, rotten hearts and other phenomena.

Therefore, avoid spraying water when blooming. Every half a month or so, pour decomposed cake fertilizer and water (1:3). When watering, prevent water from infiltrating into the center of the leaves, and do not allow rainwater to penetrate into the leaves to avoid rotten stamens. In severe cases, the entire plant will rot to death.

Winter: avoid low temperature and dryness

In winter, when the Clivia is at a low temperature below 5℃, the pot soil must be kept at about 70% humidity to prevent it from drying out and causing frostbite. If the moisture content is less than 20%, it is susceptible to dry freezing and death.

Before the frost comes, the indoor plants should be placed in a sunny place indoors, and attention should be paid to anti-freeze and warmth. About half a month, the potted plants should be rotated 180 degrees to facilitate the neat and beautiful growth of leaves.

In winter, when the indoor temperature is between 6 and 7°C, you can survive the winter safely. Apply fermented cake fertilizer once a month and pour liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so (nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied too much). Three months before flowering, apply liquid fertilizer mainly phosphorus and potash to promote flowering.

In winter, Clivia enters the dormant period, and the evaporation of water is relatively reduced. The pot soil can be kept moist, but it should be drier. Do not frequently cut off the water, accumulate water, or water half of the water. Otherwise it will also cause scorched leaves or root rot.

Flowering period: Generally during the Spring Festival and spring, there is a slight difference mainly based on the ambient temperature. Some bloom in early January, some also bloom in March and April, some bloom once a year, and some bloom twice a year in many years.

【Key points for planting Clivia】 1. Soil: The native place of Clivia is under the big trees in the forests at high altitudes in southern Africa, and its roots are rooted in the layer of rotten leaves accumulated over the years. Clivia should be raised in loose and fertile neutral or weakly acidic humus soil. The cultivation soil can be a mixture of 65% humus soil, 20% clean sand, and 15% fine furnace ash. The relative humidity of the soil should be around 40%. If the soil is compacted and drainage is poor, it will lead to root rot. Change the soil in spring. It is best to buy special soil for planting Clivia. more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Eggshell powder and cooked fish water are good phosphate fertilizers, and bran ash and soot are easily available potash fertilizers. You can also apply nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compound fertilizers to promote more germination. of new plants and leaves. Fertilizer must be appliedd in an appropriate amount. Do not apply concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer that has not been fermented and decomposed. Otherwise, it will easily cause the leaf tips to wither or rot. If spots appear on the new leaves and the roots turn yellow in winter, it means too much fertilizer is applied. If the new leaves are narrow, thin and extremely light in color, it means a lack of fertilizer.

 3 Watering: The soil should not be too dry or too wet. It must be watered thoroughly every time, and more after budding. You can combine watering with fertilizing by applying fermented bean cake water, light fishy water, water chestnuts, etc. every 20 days or so. When the room temperature is low, watering should be controlled to prevent the pot soil from being too wet. Too wet pot soil will cause plant root rot and death, but it should not make the pot soil too dry.

4 Heat preservation: The suitable temperature for the growth of Clivia in winter is 15-20℃, and it is best not to be lower than 10℃. The temperature should be kept at about 18°C ​​after the arrows fly, and the temperature difference between day and night is best at about 10°C. Otherwise, the flowers and arrows will bloom before they grow to the appropriate height, which will easily lead to "pinched arrows". When the outdoor temperature falls below 10°C at night, the Clivia must be moved indoors. When the indoor temperature is lower than 10°C, in addition to covering the surface of the pot soil with a layer of 1 cm thick charcoal powder for insulation, the flower pot must also be placed in a sunny and warm place indoors. When the indoor temperature is particularly low, you can cover the flowerpot with a film to raise the temperature, but the temperature inside the cover cannot exceed 25°C. If it exceeds, ventilation and cooling must be carried out in time.

5 Light: Clivia blooms easily under short day conditions. Exposure to the scorching sun and direct sunlight in summer can cause sunburn and inhibit growth. It should be cultivated under a shade shed or in a semi-shady environment without direct sunlight from May to September every year. But the longer the sun exposure in winter, the better. Low light during flowering can extend the flowering period. It likes warmth and coolness, and avoids severe cold and heat. It generally grows well at a temperature of 18-20°C and stops growing below 5°C. After the Clivia enters the room, the light is restricted and the flower pot needs to be manually moved for adjustment. Under normal circumstances, flowerpots should be placed indoors in a sunny place during the day so that sunlight can reach the plants. Before flowering, the flower pot should be placed under a fluorescent lamp at night to supplement the light. Since the two rows of leaves of Clivia are opposite, if the light is in the same position for a long time, the leaves will grow unevenly and affect the viewing effect. Therefore, you should pay attention to the direction of the leaves when adjusting the light, and change the sunny side every 10 days or so. There are two ways to place flowerpots indoors: one is to place the leaves parallel to the sun-facing window, and the other is to place the leaves perpendicular to the sun-facing window. The latter one has a better effect than the former one.

6. Extend the flowering period: The flowering period of Clivia is mostly from December to March of the following year. The way to extend the flowering period is to place the flowers in a dark place when they are about to bloom, control watering appropriately, and keep the temperature at 8-12°C. In this way, the flowering period can be extended by 10-20 days.

【Notes on Clivia Clivia Cultivation】 1. Container selection:

The pot used for cultivation gradually increases as the plant grows. When cultivating annual seedlings, 3-inch pots are suitable. Change to 5-inch pots in the second year. After that, change to a larger pot every 1-2 years. Pot changing can be done in spring and autumn.

2. Soil:

The general soil configuration for Clivia is 6 parts of leaf mold soil, 2 parts of pine needles, 1 part of river sand or furnace ash, 1 part of base fertilizer (pockmark, etc.). The leaf mold soil mainly refers to the leaves of oak trees, also called oak trees.

3. Watering:

Clivia has relatively developed fleshy roots, which store a certain amount of water, so this kind of flower is relatively drought-tolerant. Drought-tolerant flowers should not be seriously short of water. Especially in the case of high temperature and dry air in summer, don’t forget to water in time. If the pot soil is dry and wet, water it once if it is semi-dry, but it is necessary to water it Once. The amount should not be too much, and it is just right to keep the pot soil moist but not wet.

4. Fertilization:

Base fertilizer for Clivia should be carried out every two years when changing pots. Use commonly used manure (i.e. livestock manure), compost, green manure, bean cake fertilizer, etc. in the soil to prevent excessive fertilization.

5. High temperature:

In midsummer, the temperature is often above 30°C, which is extremely detrimental to the growth of Clivia. For this reason, a shed is generally used to cool down. You can also bury the Clivia in the sand with the pot (bury the pot), and then sprinkle water on the sand once a day in the morning and evening. In this way, the pot soil can be kept moist, and more importantly, the heat absorption when the water in the sand evaporates can be used to achieve cooling purposes.

6. Flowering period care:

The flowering period of Clivia is generally from February to April. After flowering, the flowering period can be extended by appropriate cooling, ventilation and reducing light.

Fertilization: Bone meal, fermented fish offal, and bean cake water should be added once to make the flowers brighter, the flowers larger, and the leaves thicker.

Lighting: Certain lighting conditions must be provided to meet the lighting requirements for photosynthesis and flowering.

Temperature: The flowering period should be 15-20℃.

Moisture: Clivia cannot lack water during the entire plant growth period. It needs more water when entering the flowering stage, and the growth humidity should not be less than 60%.

【Prevention and Control of Diseases and Insects of Clivia】 (1), Leaf spot disease

This disease mainly affects the leaves. In the early stage of infection, small brown spots appear on the leaves, which gradually expand into large irregular spots from yellow-brown to gray-brown. The diseased part is slightly sunken and the edge is slightly raised. In the later stage, the diseased spots dry up and have small black spots on them. The pathogen is a true fungus, which survives and overwinters on diseased parts and diseased bodies, and carries out initial invasion and re-invasion as conidia spread by wind and rain. It usually invades through wounds. Under greenhouse conditions, it may occur throughout the year, with more cases occurring from July to October. This disease is prone to occur when too much nitrogen fertilizer is used in cultivation and when phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are relatively small. The pathogen survives on the diseased leaves of parasitic plants and infects mostly through wounds. The disease is more likely to occur when the plant growth is weak.

【Prevention and Control Methods】

 ① Remove diseased leaves and diseased remains and burn them intensively to reduce the source of infection. Improve the permeability of the garden, apply more potassium fertilizer appropriately, and avoid excessive watering.

②Prevent and control scale insects, avoid insect damage and reduce infestation.

③ In the early stage of the disease, spray 50% carbendazim 1000 times liquid, 70% thiophanate wettable powder 1000 times liquid, and 50% desenonium 1000 times liquid for prevention and control. Or promptly spray 30% copper oxychloride colloidal suspension + 80% mancozeb wettable powder (1:1, mix and spray) 800 times, or 75% chlorothalonil + 70% thiophanate wettable powder (1:1) 800-1000 times liquid, or 40% thiophanate wettable powder 700 times liquid, spray alternately, pay attention to spray evenly and fully, once every 7-15 days, spray 3-4 times in a row, dense before and sparsely after.

(2) Soft rot

Root rot. High temperature seasons occur everywhere, but are more common in North China and south of North China.

Both the stem base and leaves can be affected; water-soaked small spots first appear at the base of the stem, gradually turn into light brown spots, rapidly expand and spread upward and downward, and the tissue rots, causing the umbrella plant to fall over and die, and the leaves are easy to detach; the leaves can also be directly infected, initially water-soaked, dark green, gradually expanding, and the diseased tissue rotsIt is translucent, and the lesions have a yellow halo, and the halo is broad. Under conditions of suitable temperature and humidity, the lesions expand quickly and the entire leaf rots and disintegrates into wet rot.

There are two types of soft rot pathogenic bacteria reported in my country. Erwinia chrysanthemi, Gram-negative bacteria. Pathogenic bacteria overwinter on diseased remains in the soil or in the soil, and can survive in the soil for several months; the bacteria are spread by rain and irrigation water, and can also be spread through mutual contact between diseased leaves and healthy leaves, or by operating tools; the bacteria invade through wounds, with a short incubation period of 2-3 days, and multiple reinfections during the growing season. The disease can occur from June to October, but June to July is the most suitable month for onset. High temperature and high humidity conditions are conducive to the disease, with high humidity being the main factor affecting the disease. In summer, the center part of the stem of Clivia is exposed to rain, or water is accidentally poured into the center of the stem, which are the main causes of soft rot. Applying more nitrogen fertilizer also aggravates the occurrence of diseases.

In addition to Clivia, Erwinia chrysanthemum also infects ornamental flowers and trees such as chrysanthemums, dahlias, carnations, guayules, dieffenbachia, begonias, and philodendrons. The incidence rate of Clivia grandiflora is higher than that of Clivia trilga.

Prevention and control methods

When watering, be sure not to pour water on the leaves of the human heart. Once watered, suck it up immediately. For diseased plants, according to reports from Qingdao Garden, uproot them in time, remove the soil and rotten parts; soak them in 0.1% potassium permanganate solution for 5 minutes, then rinse them once with water, with the roots facing up, dry them in the sun for half an hour, and then dry them in the shade for 4 to 5 days. Sterilize the potting soil with high temperature and place it in the pot after it has completely cooled down. Do not bury the soil too deep. Pour enough water and place it in a cool place to allow the seedlings to grow new leaves in 10 to 15 days. This method has a good control effect.

Reduce sources of infection. Diseased soil cannot be used continuously. Infected flower pots and other equipment must be thermally sterilized before use; the diseased spots on the leaves should be cut off in time and burned.

Strengthen cultivation management and control the occurrence of diseases. Apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer; the irrigation method must be appropriate, and it is forbidden to pour water into the stem core.

Immediately after the lesions appear, spray or apply 400ppm streptomycin, or inject the diseased pseudobulbs with a syringe, which will have a good therapeutic effect.

(3) Anthrax occurs throughout the country.

Anthracnose mainly damages leaves and young stems. After the disease occurs, circular or nearly circular lesions appear on the leaves, and the lesions at the leaf edges and tips become semicircular and irregular. The lesions are initially small and reddish-brown, and then gradually expand and deepen in color. The center turns gray-white, and sometimes there is a yellow halo at the edge. Finally, the lesions become dark brown and ring-shaped, with small black dots growing on them, which are the conidial discs of the pathogen. Pink mucus swells from the black spots when wet.

【Pathogen】The pathogen is fungus, Discospora. Mycelium overwinters in host residues or soil, and the disease begins on old leaves in early April of the following year. It develops rapidly between May and June at 22-28°C, and the disease is serious during the rainy season with high temperature and humidity. Conidia are spread by airflow, wind, rain, watering, etc., and often invade from wounds. The damage to seedlings is more severe than that of adult plants, which can damage young stems and even kill the entire plant in severe cases. Watering too much and placing it too densely can easily cause disease.

 【Prevention and Control Methods】

 (1) Horticultural prevention and control: Cut off diseased leaves or spots, the cutting position should be larger than the spots, and destroy them in time; improve the watering method, water from the edge of the pot; improve ventilation conditions. Strengthen cultivation management and cultivate healthy plants.

(2) Chemical prevention and treatment: 50% carbendazim wettable powder 700-800 times liquid and 50% anthrax thiamine wettable powder can be sprayed in the early stage of the disease500 times liquid, 70% thiophanate methyl wettable powder 800-1000 times liquid, 75% chlorothalonil 500 times liquid. If necessary, spray 70% Anthrax Fimei 500 times once.

(4) White silkworm disease

Mainly occurs on the root neck near the ground, showing water-soaked yellow-brown to reddish-brown wet rot. The surface of the diseased area is covered with white silk-like hyphae and spreads to the soil surface; later, sclerotia are produced on the hyphae, which are white at first, then turn yellow, reddish brown to dark brown, and are as big as rapeseeds. In severe cases, the entire plant is damaged and is easy to pull up, and the leaves are easy to pull away.

The pathogen is a fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Plants grown in bacteria-carrying soil are prone to occur in hot, rainy and humid summers. The onset of disease may occur earlier in the hot and humid conditions of the greenhouse.

Drug treatment:

(1) Chemical control: For lightly affected diseased plants, remove the diseased part, use 0.1% mercury chloride water at the base, disinfect it for 5 minutes, wash it with water, and then immerse it in a solution with a concentration of 50x10- Dip in 6 to 100-10_6 a-naphthalene acetic acid solution for several hours, and then re-cut the cuttings in sterile wet sandy soil to re-root; when replacing the pot soil, the soil should be sterilized fertile soil. For chemical disinfection, please refer to Orchid White Silk Disease. 82 Trichoderma bran biological preparation (produced by the Plant Protection Department of Zhejiang Agricultural University) can be applied to the soil to maintain a certain humidity in the soil to promote the mass reproduction of Trichoderma and achieve the purpose of inhibiting pathogenic bacteria and preventing and treating diseases.

(2) In the early stage of the disease, use 15% fentanin or 50% methylphosphonate wettable powder, apply 100 to 200 parts of fine soil, and sprinkle it on the rhizome of the diseased area, and the control effect is obvious. You can also spray 50% 1,000 times solution of dacenium at the base of the plant and the surrounding soil, and spray it again after 7 to 10 days. After that, 70% thiophanate 1000 times solution or 50% carbendazim 1000 times solution is applied to the rhizosphere soil to inhibit the spread of the disease. After pulling out seriously diseased plants, you can use 50% 500 times solution of sulfonium or lime powder to irrigate and sprinkle the diseased holes to disinfect the soil.

(5) Sunburn disease of Clivia

[Symptoms] Unclear, yellow, dry patches appear on the edges of infected leaves.

【Pathogen and incidence pattern】Clivia sunscald is a physiological injury to Clivia. Clivia sunburn often occurs in hot summer, especially when the leaves of Clivia are tender during the seedling stage and the sun is too strong, sunburn is prone to occur.

【Prevention and Control Methods】① When planting Clivia in the greenhouse, it should be properly shaded from June to September. When the indoor temperature exceeds 30°C, ventilation should be strengthened or water spraying should be used to cool down. ②Should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. ③ Once sunburn occurs in Clivia, the infected leaves should be cut off to prevent the damage from spreading and causing other diseases.

(6) Red spot disease

Clivia red spot disease is a disease caused by viruses, bacteria and certain physiological factors.

Pattern of onset: In the early stages of the disease, small white or pink-yellow or apricot-red dots appear on the back of the leaves. After the disease is discovered, if no timely measures are taken, over time, the spots will become larger and larger, the color will gradually deepen, and the spots will become sunken and rotten. In mild cases, the spots will join together and rot the leaves, causing "smear head". The cause of the disease is mostly caused by viral infection. Investigating the source of viruses, most of them are caused by the use of fertilizers without sufficient fermentation and decomposition. The raw fertilizers rot in the soil, causing more microorganisms and viruses to multiply in the stems and roots of Clivia. These microorganisms and viruses stick to the roots of Clivia and absorb nutrients, causing the physiological functions of Clivia to be hindered and the leaves to appear red spots.

Prevention and treatment methods: Clivia red spot mostly comes from the roots. If erythema is discovered, immediately repot and change the soil, then clean the roots and stems of Clivia to wash away all microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria. You can use 65% wettable zinc powder plus 400 to 500 times of water to make a solution, and spray it every 10 days or half a month, 2 to 3 times. After repotting, it is advisable to water with magnetized water.


Clivia, how can the leaves be shiny and thick?

Clivia is also called Lycoris Lycoris and Lycoris macrophylla. It is an ornamental flower belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae and is a perennial herb. Clivia represents an elegant and elegant style. Keep a pot at home and enjoy the leaves when not blooming, and the beautiful and bright flowers when blooming.

Original from South Africa, it likes a semi-shady lighting environment, does not like strong light, likes cooler temperatures, and does not like high temperatures. Especially around 20 degrees, it grows best. It blooms in winter and spring and can bloom for more than a month. It is very beautiful. Many florists say that the leaves of their Clivia do not grow enough and are not beautiful enough. How can I make the leaves of Clivia grow longer, grow green and have more flowers?


If Clivia is not growing well, there is only one method to solve it. The leaves are thick, large and shiny, and they are growing vigorously!

Whether the Clivia is growing well or not can be known by looking at the leaves. If the leaves are small and thin, the color is not green, full and shiny. Then you need to pay attention. If the leaves of the potted Clivia seedlings you just bought are not thick enough or have some cracks, don’t worry. During the subsequent growth of the seedlings, they will gradually grow and recover. Later maintenance is more important.


How to water Clivia

If you want the leaves of Clivia to look good, grow much longer, have many young leaves, and have large and thick leaves, one thing is very important, and that is watering. In the process of maintaining Clivia, During the process, be sure not to water too much or too frequently, because if the pot soil is always too moist, it is very easy to cause the Clivia's root system to breathe poorly in the moist soil and easily cause root rot. At this time, the condition of the leaves will deteriorate, and the leaves may turn yellow and the young leaves will stop growing.


So when watering the Clivia, you must pay attention. When the surface of the pot soil becomes dry and the whole pot feels lighter, then water it. Be sure to water it thoroughly. Do not water half, half dry and half wet, which will most affect the growth of Clivia.


Tips for growing Clivia

It is suitable for growing in relatively fertile, deep, well-drained and breathable, slightly moist soil. If the Clivia has been raised for one or two years and the soil has not been changed for a long time, the soil will have become hardened and there will be no certain nutrients, and the nutrition will not be able to keep up. Then the leaves of the Clivia will also grow slowly, with very few and very small leaves.


At this time, there is a good way to make it grow better. You need to change the potting soil for it and replace it with new fertile, loose and breathable soil. Especially the kind of leaf mold soil after fermentation of leaves, deciduous leaf soil, or fermented pine needle soil, which is very good for maintaining Clivia. It is soft, fertile and breathable.

At the same time, put some base fertilizer on the bottom of the basin, which can be fermented and decomposed chicken manure or cake fertilizer. After repotting, the Clivia will gradually grow better and better.The longer it grows, the more vigorous it will be. The young leaves will grow much longer. The longer the leaves will be, the thicker and glossier they will be, and there will be more flowers.

How to raise Clivia in winter

It needs to be placed in a sunny place. When the temperature is lower than five degrees, it must not be placed outdoors, but moved indoors to a sunny place. If it is below five degrees, it will enter a semi-dormant state. At this time, water less and the pot soil should be kept slightly dry. Don't fertilize. Place the Clivia in the warmest and sunny place at home. If the temperature is suitable, it can continue to grow. The leaves are very green and beautiful, and they also bloom beautiful flowers.


How can Clivia keep its leaves bright and emerald, do you know?

There are many people who like potted flowers in their daily life. In the past, probably only retired people could grow flowers because they had a lot of time to manage potted flowers. But it’s different now, and many young friends have joined in. Planting flowers has become a personal hobby for many people, which can enrich their impetuous life and make it more and more interesting.

Some people say that potted flowers are the spice of life, and it is true. The unique charm of potted flowers is very great. It can purify the environment, purify the air, and also put people in a good mood. There are countless types of potted flowers, and the one I have to mention is the Clivia. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it is a potted flower with first-class aura, so it is also the flower of gentlemen.


Most of the clivias on the market today are improved varieties, so the planting and maintenance methods are easier. Friends who have raised Clivia know that it is not delicate at all, but is easy to grow without spending too much time and energy. It only requires extensive supervision and does not have strict requirements for the living environment.

It’s just that the southern environment is more suitable for the growth of potted flowers, so Clivia also mainly grows in coastal cities. If planting is okay in the northern region, they are usually in the form of potted plants. In cold weather, the potted flower pots can be moved indoors, so as to prevent the potted flowers from being frostbitten.


Clivia is a potted flower with strong vitality. It is adaptable to various living environments and can grow normally even in harsh environments. However, you must give enough fertilizer and water in time. Sprinkling and fertilizing are inevitable processes. If there is a lack of fertilizer and water, it will only grow leaves and will definitely not bloom.

In addition to the beautiful petals, the leaves of Clivia are actually very ornamental. Many of its leaves are very large, feel very strong, not weak at all, and are green in color. They look very vibrant and smooth, so they are highly ornamental.

If it is a potted plant, Clivia, the potted flowerpot must be placed in a naturally ventilated environment and sufficient light conditions must be ensured so that photosynthesis can occur and is beneficial to the growth of potted flowers. Although fertilizing is very important, you must also master the regularity. It does not mean that the bigger the fertilizer, the better, but it should be just the right amount.


Chemical fertilizers can be purchased directly for potted flowers, which is much more convenient. Since the nutrients are all well prepared, you can use them directly. You can also use organic fertilizers. The key is to master the concentration of chemical fertilizers. If you encounter a hot summer, be sure not to expose them to the sun, otherwise potted flowers will get sunburned.


Growing Clivia after the beginning of autumn requires four key points. The leaves grow wildly and are bright green. Did you know?

Flower lovers who have raised Clivia know that it is a flower that is dormant during hot weather. The plant is in dormant mode throughout the summer and no longer grows. During this period, maintenance requires less water and less fertilizer, and no visible sunlight, otherwise it will be very easy to cause harm to the plant.

It has been exposed to cold dew for a period of time. At this time, the Clivia will immediately wake up from dormancy and gradually begin to resume growth. Maintenance at this time is also very important. It is necessary to improve the maintenance and management of fertilizer, water and sunlight, so that the plant can grow quickly and grow new buds frequently, laying a solid foundation for blooming.

1. It is suitable to repot in autumn

Clivia is a fleshy rhizome, and its soil environment requirements are very strict, so it is easy to produce flowers. In agglomerated flower soil, the growth rate is relatively slow and it is difficult for new buds to grow, and watering can easily lead to root rot due to water retention. If the plants are not potted and divided for a long time, the plants will grow weakly and it will be difficult for them to grow new leaves.

When raising Clivia, it is best to change the bonsai soil for it every 1 to 2 years. The time for changing the pot can be considered to be in autumn and spring. If the plant is still in the flowering stage in spring, it can be repotted and divided in late autumn.


The nutrient soil for raising Clivia should be soft, breathable, and contain nutrients. Add as much pine needle soil, humus soil, or your own fermented peanut shells, slag particles, etc. as possible to make bonsai soil. It is loose and breathable and must contain certain nutrients to allow the plant to grow more abundantly.

2. Water it scientifically and rationally

Clivia is a flower that is afraid of waterlogging. It has a fleshy texture. When maintaining rhizomes, many people water the bonsai soil too frequently, causing the bonsai soil to remain wet for a long time, resulting in root rot. Especially during the dormant period of the plant, the bonsai soil is more likely to be wet and dry, which is more likely to cause root rot and yellowing. Therefore, it is necessary to drain the water throughout the summer and keep the bonsai soil slightly dry, which is more conducive to the autumn.

As the weather gets colder, the plant slowly wakes up from dormancy and gradually enters the stage of growth. At this time, the bonsai soil is called too dry. Although the plant is not prone to drought, it will also affect the normal growth and development. The leaves will be dull and not round.

During the peak growth period of Clivia, watering must be adjusted appropriately. Every time the bonsai soil becomes hard, it must be watered in time to keep the soil slightly moist. If the natural environment is too dry. Under the condition, frequently spray water mist around the potted plants to keep the air moist.

3. Gradually replenish fertilizers in autumn

After the Clivia enters the autumn, the plant gradually recovers from growth and development. At this time, it is also necessary to replenish it and supplement nutrients for the plant so that it can grow and develop new buds quickly.

Clivia particularly likes organic fertilizers. In autumn, it is recommended to apply more fermented and decomposed organic fertilizer to the flower pots. Especially for Clivia potted plants that are not going to be repotted, bury some in the flower soil. Fermented sheep manure, bean cake fertilizer, etc. can make the bonsai soil softer and richer, allowing the plant roots to grow thicker.

If you want Clivia to grow quickly, you can also use some quick-acting fertilizers.Various types of compound fertilizers, or watering a thin culture solution every half a month or so, will allow the plants to absorb them quickly and often grow new leaves.

4. Use more diffuse light

Although Clivia is a flower that loves the sun, it cannot be lack of sunlight for a long time during maintenance. During the dormant state of the plant in summer, you can not let it see the sun and put it in the shade for natural ventilation and maintenance.

When the Clivia resumes growth in the fall, it will no longer lack sunlight. Otherwise, the plant will grow slowly, the leaves will not be shiny, and the formation of flower buds will be affected.


Similarly, after October, move the Clivia out and get more diffuse light, or move it out sooner or later to bask in the soft sunshine. When allowing Clivia to receive sunlight, it also takes three to five days to rotate the pot to make it evenly illuminated, otherwise the leaves will easily grow skewed.

With the advent of autumn, the Clivia at home has begun to slowly recover and grow. At this time, it is also necessary to reduce the maintenance and management of fertilizer, water and light intensity, so that the plants can grow and develop rapidly and lay a solid foundation for blooming in the middle and later stages.
