How long is the growth cycle of Clivia?

Introduction to Clivia Growth

Clivia is a moisture-loving plant that is extremely shade-tolerant and likes to grow in a humid environment. Its origin is in the mountainous forest areas of subtropical southern Africa, where the weather is warm like spring all year round.

Clivia growth cycle

Clivia has a long growth cycle. It usually takes four or five years to cultivate it. It will not bloom until it has 20 to 25 leaves. Those that are cultivated well can shoot out arrows and bloom in two or three years, and some can even shoot out arrows and bloom in less than two years.

Clivia growth rate

It takes half a month for Clivia to germinate after sowing. At this time, it has a high demand for water, so keep the soil moist. After two months, it will grow a leaf bank, and the leaves will grow from here. It will bloom after twelve leaves grow.

Clivia growth cycle management

Temperature management: Clivia grows best in an environment of 15-25 degrees. It grows slowly in an environment below 10 degrees. When the temperature is below 0 degrees and above 30 degrees, the leaves will be frozen, and even frozen to death in severe cases.

Fertilization management : Clivia likes fertilizer, base fertilizer is applied once every two years, and topdressing is applied once a month. Watering once 1-2 days after fertilization can better exert the fertilizer effect.
