How to grow Clivia miniata

How to grow Clivia miniata

1. Potting soil

To care for Clivia miniata, you need to use a suitable pot. Because its root system is relatively long, it is best to use a deep and thin stick pot to facilitate the growth of its roots. The soil must be fertile and have sufficient organic matter. It is ideal to use fallen leaves or semi-rotten leaves of the Fagaceae family for cultivation. If there is no way to obtain it, you can use peat plus granular soil and a certain amount of base fertilizer to mix it for cultivation.

2. Light

The large-flowered Clivia prefers bright scattered light, is afraid of direct sunlight, and can tolerate partial shade. If the light is too strong, the leaves of the flower will be burned, and if it is too dark, it will grow too tall.

3. Water

Clivia requires slightly moist soil in the pot to grow. Its roots are fleshy, and water accumulation will cause root rot. If it is too dry, the leaves will become dull and narrow, and the performance characteristics will be poor.

4. Temperature

The ideal growth temperature for Clivia miniata is around 20 to 25 degrees. The recommended temperature for wintering is above 5 degrees. If it is below 5 degrees, frost damage will occur. If the temperature is above 35 degrees, it will be in a dormant state. A temperature difference of about 10 degrees between day and night is very helpful for its flowering.

5. Fertilization

During the maintenance process, the soil of Clivia should be changed once every one to two years. It is a potted flower that likes fertilizer, so except for the dormant period, it needs to be given a thin liquid fertilizer every ten days or so during the growing period to meet its growth needs.

6. Pests and diseases

When caring for Clivia, there may be pests such as scale insects. You must observe them in time and wipe them off with a soft cloth or an old toothbrush as soon as possible once you find them. It is not recommended to use pesticides to disinfect it. Manual removal can basically control it.
