How to grow Clivia in winter

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It likes loose, fertile, neutral-acidic soil. Generally, you need to change the pot and soil in autumn to ensure that it can survive the winter smoothly.

2. Light: Although it likes light, scattered light is still the main choice in winter, because too strong sunlight will shorten its flowering period and make the flower color dim.

3. Watering: Because it has fleshy roots, watering should be controlled in winter when the temperature is low. The soil in the pot should not be too moist, but also not too dry. Remember not to water the leaves and flowers.

4. Fertilization: Before winter comes, it is best to apply solid fertilizer once, and apply less nitrogen fertilizer and more potassium fertilizer. You can also use animal manure to soak and water the roots. Apply light fertilizer and do not apply too much fertilizer.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Seed propagation: Collect a mature seed, wash, dry it, and then sow it. If the temperature is controlled at around 22 degrees, the seeds will germinate after about 35 days.

2. Propagation by division: It is carried out in April and June every year. Axillary buds are separated from the mother plant and then planted. Remember to disinfect the wounds of the axillary buds and the mother plant.

3. Pest and disease control

Leaf spot may occur, and fungicides need to be sprayed in time to ensure that the leaves are healthy and evergreen and the flowers bloom luxuriantly.
