To care for Clivia, put some "little things" at the bottom of the flowerpot to make the soil "breathable" and bloom more!

Use this "little gadget" to care for Clivia, and it will bloom profusely and have green leaves!

The little thing that Huahua was talking about is the willow bark that is very common on the roadside nowadays. Don’t be fooled by its black and inconspicuous appearance, but it is extremely effective for growing flowers. Willow bark falls off from willow trees, and willow trees are a kind of tree with vigorous vitality. If we use willow bark to care for Clivia, it will naturally promote its growth and flowering speed.

It can almost be said that the willow tree is a plant that comes alive when it comes into contact with water. In fact, this is entirely because it contains a substance called salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a substance that accelerates plant cell division and promotes growth. If we use it to maintain Clivia, we naturally don’t have to worry about the slow growth rate. Moreover, willow bark is easy to obtain and the operation method is also very simple.

After we collect the willow bark, we need to expose it to the sun first to remove excess bacteria and impurities. After that, you need to put it in the pot and cook it until it is soft. The willow bark will release nutrients more quickly after being boiled, and the Clivia will also be able to grow better. After the willow bark is boiled, we can directly place it at the bottom of the flowerpot, or mix it with the soil. This will help enhance the soil's air permeability and internal nutrition.

Daily maintenance methods:

Clivia needs scattered light during its growth period. Regular light can help Clivia replenish the light and thus promote growth. During the growth period of Clivia, remember to turn the flowerpot regularly to ensure the balanced growth of the leaves on both sides of the Clivia.

Watering Clivia is a troublesome thing, because it has fleshy roots, and if you are not careful it may cause water accumulation and root rot. Therefore, we should pay attention to watering when the soil is dry and then observe the humidity of the soil in the pot, and try to water it thoroughly at one time.
