How long does it take for Clivia to bloom and when does it bloom

1. How long does it take for Clivia to bloom?

Clivia is not a difficult plant to grow. Generally, seedlings grown from seeds only need to be cultivated for 3-4 years before they can grow 14-18 leaves and bloom flowers. However, if the seedlings are cultivated by division, cuttings, etc., the time required for flowering will be shorter. It usually takes 1-2 years of cultivation to bloom.

2. When does Clivia bloom?

Clivia is a plant with a very long flowering period. Normally, it blooms in spring and autumn, that is, from February to May every year. If maintained in the normal way, its flowers can bloom for 3-4 months. If it is well maintained, it can bloom 2-3 times a year, almost all year round.

3. How to make Clivia bloom multiple times

1. Soil selection: If you want it to bloom multiple times a year, you must ensure that the soil is breathable and loose enough. In spring, you can change the soil for it by mixing leaf mold, peanut shells, river sand, garden soil, etc. to make its nutrient soil.

2. Temperature control: During the day, you can keep it in an environment above 25℃ to keep it warm. At night, you can put it in a relatively cool place and keep the temperature around 10℃. Such a temperature difference between day and night can stimulate it to grow flower arrows and thus bloom.

3. Top dressing after flowering: After it finishes flowering, you can apply appropriate top dressing to supplement its nutrients. This will allow it to accumulate more nutrients and bloom sooner.

4. Keep ventilated: It is easier to grow and bloom in an environment with good ventilation. When maintaining it, it is recommended to ventilate it frequently.
