Is it okay to apply compound fertilizer to Clivia? How much compound fertilizer should be applied at a time?

1. Is it okay to apply compound fertilizer?

During the maintenance of Clivia, you can apply compound fertilizer, but you must pay attention to the dosage and concentration. It is okay to use a small amount. Reasonable application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can promote the sprouting of new leaves of the plant. When fertilizing, do not use too concentrated fertilizer or uncomposted raw fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will dry out and rot.

2. Compound Fertilizer Dosage

When using compound fertilizer, the amount should not be too much each time. About 5-10 grains are enough for its growth. If you bury fertilizer in the soil, be careful not to place it close to the roots of the plant. There should be a certain distance, otherwise the roots may be burned. If you dilute it, you must pay attention to the proportion and keep the concentration low.

3. Precautions for fertilization

1. The amount of fertilizer must be controlled, and do not water it immediately after fertilizing. Just wait 1-2 days before watering it. Also, do not expose the plant to strong light after fertilizing.

2. Do not fertilize it blindly. When the summer climate is too hot, you cannot fertilize it. If the temperature is too high, the plant growth will stop, and applying fertilizer at this time will only burn the roots.

3. The frequency of fertilization should also be controlled. Too frequent fertilization is not conducive to the growth of Clivia. Fertilization is usually carried out during the growing season, generally with an interval of about 10-15 days. If fertilizer is applied too many times, the leaves of the plant will turn yellow and the roots will rot.
