Management methods for Clivia's dormancy period

Light-shielding treatment

Clivia does not have a fixed dormancy time and month. Generally, it will automatically go into dormancy when the temperature rises to a certain degree. Summer is the most accurate dormant time for Clivia. At this time, strong light becomes the most important factor affecting the dormant Clivia, and the breeder must shade the Clivia at this time.

One method is to move the Clivia potted plant to a place where it can only receive sunlight in the morning and evening when summer begins. An environment with diffuse light near clusters of flowers is also fine. When midsummer comes, find a bright place with light but no sunlight. Another method is to build a blackout curtain or blackout rack above the Clivia flower pot to block the light, roll it up in the morning and evening, and put it down when the sunlight comes out.

Cool down and relieve heat

High temperatures and scorching heat can be said to be the second biggest hazard to Clivia. The simplest way to deal with it is to use physical cooling methods. At noon when the temperature is hottest, use a spray bottle to spray the leaves of Clivia to cool it down. You can also place a basin filled with water near the Clivia potted plant to increase the humidity of the surrounding air. Then place the plant in an environment with good air circulation to help dissipate the heat of the plant.

Dormancy Management

During the dormant period of Clivia, it stops growing and the amount of water and fertilizer must be reduced accordingly. One is to reduce the amount of water to prevent the roots from rotting. Another thing is to stop using fertilizers, otherwise it will cause root damage.
