How to grow Clivia to make it bloom, and what are the signs of blooming

1. Methods of maintaining flowering

1. More sunlight: Light is essential for Clivia to bloom. The sunlight is not very strong in spring and autumn, so it is very suitable to place the plant in the sun. In winter, the temperature drops very quickly and the sunlight is weaker, so you can receive sunlight all day long indoors.

2. Apply less nitrogen fertilizer: The plant needs phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to maintain flowering, so more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers need to be applied before flowering. Note that you need to control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer at this time. If you apply too much, it is very easy for the leaves to become thick and the plants will not bloom.

3. Change pots in time: Many flower lovers ignore this point. If the pot for cultivating the plant is too small, it will not be able to grow and bloom normally. Therefore, it is best to change the pot every year and replace the soil in the pot appropriately, which is conducive to the plant's absorption of nutrients and better flowering.

2. Signs before flowering

1. Number of leaves: Usually, if it blooms, it must have at least 12 leaves. If the Clivia you are growing has been grown for three or four years and the number of leaves is increasing, it means it is about to bloom.

2. Flower arrows appear: Its leaves begin to become thick and flower arrows appear, which means it is about to bloom. Because, it must have a flower arrow to bloom, otherwise it will not bloom.
