How to grow Clivia to make it flourish

1. Pay attention to lighting

Clivia likes to grow in an environment of scattered light. The breeding environment cannot be too dark and it needs to receive an appropriate amount of light every day. The summer sun is very strong, so you need to pay attention to shading at noon and avoid being exposed to the sun for a long time. It is best to keep it indoors in the sun during the winter.

2. Nutrient Supplementation

During its growth period, it needs top dressing, which can be done with fish meal, cake fertilizer, etc. As it continues to grow, the amount of fertilizer needs to be appropriately increased. Solid fertilizer can be applied once a month. Fertilizer with low concentration is beneficial for plant absorption. Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, and use it in combination with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

3. Control moisture

Its roots are fleshy roots, which contain a lot of water, so the amount of watering should be controlled well. You can use collected rainwater or snow water, but try not to use tap water. If you use tap water, put it in a bottle first and leave it for 2-3 days before use. The cultivation soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged, which is most suitable for plant growth.

4. Change the pot regularly

After one to two years of cultivation, the potting soil should be changed. Make sure the size of the flowerpot is suitable for the growth of the plant. If it is too small, it will hinder the expansion of its root system. Only by meeting its growth needs can the plant grow more luxuriantly. It is best to change the soil as it will become compacted over time. Loose soil is conducive to its growth.
