How to grow Clivia in early summer

1. Lighting

The light in early summer is not very strong, but it is not very weak either. In addition, Clivia itself does not like strong light, so it should be placed in scattered light for cultivation at this time. It is best not to give it full sun.

2. Watering

In early summer, the temperature gradually rises, so the evaporation rate of water in the soil will also become faster accordingly. At this time, you need to slightly increase the frequency of watering to prevent it from suffering from water shortage due to evaporation.

3. Fertilization

Spring is the peak growth season for plants and requires frequent fertilization. However, in early summer, the growth rate of plants is not as fast as in spring, so the number of fertilizations should be reduced accordingly. Fertilizer control can be achieved by reducing the amount of fertilizer applied or increasing the fertilization cycle.

4. Prevent diseases and pests

Summer is the period when plants are most susceptible to diseases and insect pests, so prevention must be taken in early summer. Diseases and pests can be prevented by spraying multiple times diluted carbendazim or dichlorvos. In addition, it is best to place the plants in a place with good ventilation, which will also help avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests.
