Clivia seedling cultivation method

Clivia seedling cultivation method

temperature

The temperature required for Clivia seedlings is higher than that for mature orchids, but the temperature should be controlled between 15~30℃.

Ambient humidity

Clivia has no special requirements for air humidity, normal household humidity is sufficient. However, in dry seasons, the humidity in the home is low, so you can spray appropriately to increase the humidity.

illumination

Clivia seedlings should not be exposed to direct sunlight and need appropriate shading. In summer, it can be placed on the south balcony and provide appropriate shade.

Watering

Keep an eye on the plant during watering to avoid letting the pot dry out or allowing water to accumulate in it. You can pinch the flower soil with your hands. If it forms a clumping mass and falls apart when touched, it’s time to water it! The usual way to water Clivia is to use a watering can. Aim the nozzle at the leaves, which can not only achieve the purpose of watering and moistening the soil, but also clean the leaves, remove dust, and increase the photosynthesis of the leaves; at the same time, a small amount of dew will remain on the leaves, and the water will evaporate in the sun to avoid leaf burns.

soil

Flower soil should not be too fine or too coarse. If it is too thick, the air permeability is too good, the roots are not easy to integrate with the soil and the plant is prone to lodging; if it is too fine, the soil air permeability is poor and the roots are prone to rot.

When the seedlings grow one leaf, you can start hardening them off. Reduce watering and place the seedlings in a cooler environment (not lower than 5℃). This will increase the seedlings' resistance to stress and help them grow healthily.

Fertilization

Young seedlings do not need additional topdressing, just apply appropriate foliar fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, the fertilizer should be light. Wait until the seedlings grow two leaves and then care for them like mature orchids.
