What is the appropriate temperature for Clivia and what are the maintenance requirements?

1. Suitable temperature

Clivia prefers a warm growing environment and cannot tolerate extreme heat or cold. The most suitable temperature range is 15-25 degrees Celsius, maintaining a certain temperature difference between day and night. A temperature difference of about 8-12 degrees Celsius is most suitable for growth. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius in summer, the plants will find it difficult to adapt and will enter a semi-dormant stage. They need to be cooled down and more attention should be paid to ventilation. It is also difficult to adapt to the cold winter and needs to be moved indoors for maintenance. If the temperature drops below 8 degrees Celsius, the plant will stop growing. If it drops below 6 degrees Celsius, it will suffer frost damage and the tips of the leaves will turn yellow and necrotize.

2. Other maintenance requirements

1. Light: It can tolerate shade, so it only needs bright diffuse light. Pay attention to shade in summer and avoid exposure to the sun. It can be exposed to more sunlight in winter. Also remember to rotate the flower pot every half a month to ensure that the plant receives even light.

2. Water and fertilizer: Apply water and fertilizer according to the growth of the plant. Apply once every 15-20 days during the most vigorous growth period. Pay attention to the dosage.

3. Repotting: The growth rate is relatively fast, so the flowerpot should be changed once a year, in spring and autumn, so that there are enough nutrients to supply growth. The new potting soil needs to be disinfected and sterilized before use.
