How does Clivia survive the winter? Can it be exposed to the sun?

1. Winter maintenance

1. Temperature: Clivia is afraid of cold. When caring for it in winter, the temperature should be adjusted between 15~20℃. Do not let the temperature drop below 10℃, as it will slow down the growth of the plant or even stop growing. If the maintenance temperature is lower than 0℃, frost damage will occur and it is easy to get frostbitten, so you must pay attention to keeping warm when the temperature is too low.

2. Watering: Less watering is needed during winter maintenance, usually once a month, but the specific amount should be adjusted according to the maintenance environment. If the environment is warm, it can be shortened to once every half a month. When the air humidity is low, you can also use a spray bottle to spray to increase the humidity.

3. Ventilation: Usually, people will move the plants indoors after winter, and the indoor environment is generally very warm. If there is no ventilation for a long time, it will be detrimental to its growth. Therefore, you should open the windows frequently to ventilate and ensure good air circulation. However, what should be avoided is that the plants should not be placed in a windy place, as this will increase the chance of frostbite.

2. Whether you can bask in the sun

Clivia can be exposed to the sun, but it does not like too strong sunlight. It can be placed in the sun when the sunlight is not strong. It’s okay to see light every day in winter, but you must ensure sufficient light and a good lighting environment, which will be more conducive to its flowering. In addition, you should rotate the flower pot appropriately so that the leaves on both sides of the plant will grow more symmetrically.
