What fertilizer should be used for Clivia and how to propagate it?

1. What fertilizer to use

When Clivia is a seedling, it mainly uses nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote better leaf growth of the plant. Generally, fertilizer is applied once every 10-15 days. After the seedlings are formed, the use of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced, and mainly phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be applied. Organic fertilizer can also be applied, which will help them bloom. During the flowering period, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate to make the flowers bloom larger and the colors more vivid.

It is very important to choose the right weather for fertilizing Clivia. It should not be done in rainy weather or weather with strong sunlight, because the plant's ability to absorb nutrients is relatively weak at this time, and it is easy to cause fertilizer damage.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Sowing method: first prepare high-quality seeds, then put them in warm water, soak them for about half an hour, take them out, and dry them in the sun for about 1-2 hours, then you can sow them. You can also soak it in 10% sodium phosphate solution for about half an hour, and then soak it in clean water for 10-15 hours. When sowing, put it in the soil, then cover it with soil, compact it and place it in a ventilated place.

2. Division method: Prepare the sterilized clay pots and medium in advance. When dividing the plants, take out the plants first and clean the mud ball on the roots. Then use scissors to separate the sub-plants from the mother plant, and then apply charcoal powder to prevent rot. Finally, plant them. The roots will grow in about 1-2 months.
