How to grow potted Clivia in winter

1. Temperature

Clivia is not cold-resistant. It needs to be moved indoors for maintenance in winter when the temperature is low, and the temperature must be controlled. It can grow well between 15 and 20 degrees, but it must be at least above 10 degrees. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night should not be too large, and should not exceed 10 degrees. If the temperature cannot be controlled, you can cover the flower pot with a plastic bag to keep it warm.

2. Lighting

It likes to grow in a semi-shaded environment, but the winter sun is very mild, so you can put it in a well-lit place to bask in the sun, so that the leaves will be more shiny. But be careful to change the direction of the flowerpot every ten days to allow the light to be more evenly distributed on the plant, making the plant shape more beautiful.

3. Fertilization

Fertilizer should be applied once before winter, and the main fertilizers should be phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. You can use fermented fish water or eggshells, which can supplement phosphorus fertilizers well. You can also apply rice bran ash or cigarette ash to supplement potassium fertilizers. Avoid using concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer, otherwise the roots will easily rot and the leaves will dry up.
