Pothos and Clivia... grow too slowly? Learn 2 tricks, climb up the wall, the leaves are green and shiny!

Why does the green radish grow slowly?

Every time I see other people’s green ivy growing into a waterfall, I feel particularly envious. How do they do it? Why does your green ivy grow so slowly, or even not grow for several years?

1. Lack of fertilizer leads to slow growth

If you want the branches of the green radish to grow longer and longer, you cannot do without fertilizer. If you don't apply some fertilizer in spring, the leaves of the green radish will not only be very small, but will also continue to turn yellow, and will die after a long time.

Solution:

If you want the green radish to grow more vigorously, you can water it with rice water regularly. Put the rice water in a clean plastic bottle, seal it and ferment it. Open the lid to let it breathe every 3-5 days. It only takes 1 month for the rice water to be fully fermented.

Mix the fermented rice water with clean water in a ratio of 1:10. Use it on the green radish once every 7-10 days. This will make the leaves of the green radish greener and even bigger!

2. Insufficient light leads to slow growth

Although the green radish is super shade-tolerant, if it is kept in a dimly lit place indoors, it will definitely grow slowly.

Solution:

Place the green radish in a place with good diffused light indoors, such as a living room, study, and east and west balconies, so that the leaves of the green radish can absorb light and synthesize the substances needed for growth, and it will grow faster and faster.

Why does Clivia grow slowly?

Since the Spring Festival, the Clivias in many flower lovers' homes have been blooming one after another. However, there are also some flower lovers who have raised Clivias for three or four years, and not only have they not bloomed, even leaves have not grown. It is really heartbreaking!

1. Lack of fertilizer leads to slow growth

If you want Clivia to grow quickly, you must ensure that it has enough fertilizer. If there is a lack of nutrients, Clivia will naturally not be able to grow leaves and bloom.

Solution:

If you have expired waste oil at home, you can use it to grow Clivia. Collect the waste oil from the range hood or expired cooking oil and use it as fertilizer for the Clivia.

Use a small wooden stick to poke 2-4 small holes along the edge of the Clivia pot, then pour the waste oil into them, about 2/3 of the holes, and then cover them with soil. The waste oil slowly releases nutrients in the soil, and the Clivia absorbs the nutrients and begins to grow.

2. Not changing the pot leads to slow growth

The Clivia at home has been grown for a long time, and the nutrients in the potting soil are gradually absorbed, but the root system is growing more and more. At this time, it is necessary to change it to a larger pot and add some nutrient soil, otherwise the Clivia will not absorb nutrients and will definitely grow slowly.

Solution:

1. Remove the Clivia from the pot, clean the soil on the roots, trim off the old roots, weak roots, rotten roots, etc., then soak it in a solution of carbendazim for half an hour, then take it out and dry it.

2. Prepare a larger flowerpot, put a few broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to allow water and air to flow, then put the prepared nutrient soil into the pot. You can grab a handful of melon seeds and peanuts and spread them evenly in the pot to supplement nutrients for the Clivia, and then you can put it directly into the pot.

Why do gardenias grow slowly?

With the arrival of spring, many gardenias that were in a dormant period began to wake up, gradually sprouting new leaves and growing. However, many flower lovers also reported back, asking why the gardenias in my home grow so slowly and not as fast as those in other homes?

1. Lack of nutrients leads to slow growth

If there is a lack of sufficient nutrients, the growth of gardenia will definitely be restricted, new leaves will not be able to grow, and it will definitely not grow.

Solution:

Flower lovers who have beer at home can leave the beer for 1-2 days. After the alcohol evaporates, mix it with water in a ratio of 1:50 to make a solution. Use it directly to water the roots of gardenias or spray the leaves. This can replenish nutrients and make the gardenias grow faster and faster!

2. Alkaline soil leads to slow growth

Gardenia likes acidic soil. If the soil is alkaline for a long time, it will definitely affect the normal growth of gardenia and it will definitely grow slowly.

Solution:

If the soil is alkaline, find some white vinegar at home, mix it with water in a ratio of 1:200 to make a solution, and use it to water the roots of the gardenia. Use it about once every 10 days to improve the alkaline soil condition of the gardenia, and make the gardenia grow more and more vigorously!
