Learn one simple trick, and the leaves of Clivia and Asparagus Fern will be so green that they seem to be dripping with oil!

1 Clivia

Clivia has the demeanor of a gentleman and is as beautiful as an orchid, so many flower lovers have Clivia at home. But sometimes, we will find that the Clivia in our home either has yellow leaves or the plant shape is crooked and does not look good at all. So what should we do? Huahua will tell you today!

How to make the leaves of Clivia thick and shiny

1. Put sawdust on the bottom of the basin

To grow Clivia, you must first take care of the roots. As long as the root system of Clivia is good, the leaves will naturally be green. Therefore, in order to prevent the roots of Clivia from rot, you can put some sawdust at the bottom of the pot. Sawdust is very water-permeable and breathable, making it perfect for placing at the bottom of a pot!

2. Watering with decomposed chicken manure and bean cake fertilizer

If you want your Clivia to grow vigorously, fertilizer is the basis. We can usually put chicken manure fertilizer and bean cake fertilizer at the bottom of the flower pot as base fertilizer, or mix chicken manure fertilizer, bean cake fertilizer and soil together as fertilizer, or even dilute chicken manure fertilizer or bean cake fertilizer with water in a ratio of 1:10 and then water the Clivia, about 1-2 times a month during the growing period.

3. Wipe the leaves with rice vinegar and water

There are many pores on the leaves of Clivia, which can absorb nutrients, so we can mix rice vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:100, and then gently wipe the leaves with cotton gauze. This will not only wipe off the dirt on the leaves, but also allow the leaves to absorb the nutrients in the rice vinegar, making the leaves thick and growing vigorously!

How to make Clivia leaves neat

1. Adjust the direction of the flower pot

Clivia is very phototropic and its leaves will grow crooked if you don't pay attention to them. Therefore, you need to rotate the flower pot 180° about once a week to make the leaves of the Clivia neat.

2. Fix with a small clip

Choose clips with less force, such as bamboo clips for clothes drying, put a layer of soft paper on them, pull the two symmetrical leaves together and clip them together. After a while, the crooked leaves of the Clivia can be corrected.

3. Opaque tin foil

Take an opaque tin foil and fold it into 1/2 the width of the leaf according to the length of the leaf, then fix it on the leaf surface with a paper clip. Fix the leaf to the direction it is leaning and it will become symmetrical again after a few days.

2 Asparagus fern

Recently, many flower lovers have asked Huahua, saying that the asparagus ferns in their homes are always growing too tall, or turning yellow piece by piece, which is really worrying!

How to make asparagus fern leaves green

1. Spray more water

The leaves of asparagus fern are very small and cannot store water at all. Once the air is too dry, the leaves will turn yellow over a large area, so we must ensure that the air humidity of asparagus fern is high enough. When you have nothing to do, you can use a watering can to spray the asparagus fern with water, or place a basin of water next to the asparagus fern to let the water evaporate and increase the humidity.

2. Pour some rice water

If you want asparagus fern to grow vigorously and not turn yellow, you can fully decompose the rice water, dilute it with water in the ratio of 1:50, put it in a fine-meshed spray bottle, and spray it on the plant once every 5-7 days. This will make the leaves of asparagus fern green and not turn yellow!

3. Place it in a ventilated place to reduce smoke and dust pollution

Asparagus fern is most afraid of smoke and dust. If it encounters toxic gases, such as sulfur dioxide, chlorine and other pollution, or if someone smokes too much next to it, it can easily cause the leaves of the asparagus fern to turn yellow or even die. Therefore, you must place asparagus fern in a well-ventilated place to avoid its leaves turning yellow.

How to make asparagus fern plants upright

1. Bundling

If a flower lover has multiple asparagus ferns growing in the same pot at home, he can cage and tie all their stems together to make the plants more upright. When bundling, be sure to use thinner ropes, wooden strips, etc.

2. Pruning

If the asparagus fern grows for more than 3 years, its stems will droop or bend due to being too long, which seriously affects its appearance. If this situation has already occurred in your asparagus fern at home, you should cut off the old and dead branches in time, and those overgrown and too long branches should also be pruned short, so that it can grow more side branches and sprout new branches, making the plant shape more perfect.

3. Chlorophytum

Nowadays, more and more flower lovers are raising spider plants, and correspondingly, more and more problems are arising, especially yellow leaves and dry tips, which are problems that every flower lover who raises spider plants will encounter!

How to make spider plant leaves green

1. Spray more water to increase humidity

Many flower lovers have told Huahua that the most common problem with spider plants is drying out of the tips. Huahua thinks this is mainly caused by insufficient watering and low air humidity. When you have nothing to do, you can use a spray bottle to spray water on the leaves of the spider plant to prevent the tips from drying out.

2. Pour some fish tank water

If you want the leaves of spider plants to be green and lush, fertilization is the key. For flower lovers who have fish at home, you can pour out the water in the fish tank, let it cool to room temperature, and then use it directly to water the spider plants. The water in the fish tank contains many trace elements, which can make the spider plant grow more vigorously and the leaves greener!

How to make the leaves of spider plants symmetrical and stylish

1. Rotate the flower pot

The leaves of some spider plants in flower lovers' homes are always larger on one side and smaller on the other. This is caused by uneven light exposure. In order to make the leaves of the spider plant more symmetrical, you can rotate the flowerpot 90° every 1-2 weeks so that almost every side of the spider plant can get sunlight.

2. Place the spider plant in a high place

If you want to make the leaves of the spider plant more symmetrical and stylish, you must place the spider plant in a higher place in the home, such as a closet, balcony, or even hang it up, so that its leaves can hang down all the time, making it more beautiful.
