The Clivia in her home blooms every Spring Festival. It turns out that she waters it with this kind of water!

Water the Clivia and it will bloom like crazy and fill the pot

Winter is the flowering period of Clivia. At this stage, the most critical point is not to lack fertilizer. If you water it with "flower-promoting water" before the New Year, the Clivia will bloom like crazy!

1. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate

Dilute potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder with 2000 times of water, and then water the flowers every 10 to 15 days. This can not only replenish fertilizer and water for the plants, but also improve the plants' resistance to frost.

2. Beer

Leave an opened bottle of beer overnight to remove the alcohol smell, then dilute it with 50 times the amount of water. Water the Clivia once every 10 days. This will promote flowering of the plant and make the flower arrows emerge quickly.

3. Bone meal

If the Clivia is slow to produce flower buds, you can dig four small holes on the edge of the flowerpot, bury 2g of bone meal in each hole, then cover with soil and water it thoroughly.

If you grow Clivia like this in winter, the flower buds will burst vigorously without being stuck!

In addition to the full complement of fertilizers, we must also pay attention to the daily control of light, temperature and water. As long as these points are controlled well, it will be difficult not to bloom during the Spring Festival.

1. Lighting

Before flowering, it is best to place the potted plants in a sunny location and ensure at least 5 hours of sunlight a day to help the plants differentiate flower buds.

2. Temperature

In terms of temperature, before the Clivia shoots, you can increase the day and night temperature difference, about 18°C ​​during the day and about 8°C at night, to promote flowering of the plant.

When the plant is about to sprout, place the potted plant in a room at about 20℃. The temperature must not be lower than 15℃, otherwise the flower arrow may not sprout, affecting the ornamental effect.

3. Moisture

When caring for Clivia in winter, you can water it when the soil in the pot turns slightly white. It is best to water it at noon when the temperature is higher. The water temperature should not be too cold, and should at least be kept consistent with the soil temperature.

If you don't pay attention to these two points, Clivia will be pinched by arrows

The main reasons for the plant's arrow pinching are low temperature and insufficient nutrients after the arrow is pulled out, so we must pay special attention to the maintenance temperature after the arrow is pulled out, and it must not be lower than 15℃.

For insufficient nutrients, in addition to the fertilizer water applied before flowering, we can also use potassium dihydrogen phosphate to spray the leaves, usually diluted 1000 times with water, to prevent the plant from getting arrows stuck.

Once the arrow is stuck, we can force it out manually by binding the leaves on both sides of the plant with soft cloth, ensuring that the room temperature is above 20℃, and then loosening the rope when the flower arrow grows out.

If you are worried that bundling will damage the leaves, you can also use black plastic bags or tin foil to cover the flower buds, prolong the development time of the buds, and allow the flower arrows to grow quickly.
