Clivia has green leaves but no flowers. Try changing the fertilizer and it will bloom red flowers every year.

Many friends would say that the leaves of the Clivia in their homes are thick and lush, but they have been raising them for many years and have never seen them bloom. They even thought that Clivia does not bloom!

Don’t worry if you find that your Clivia doesn’t bloom. Today, Huahua will talk to you about this issue: Why doesn’t Clivia bloom?

1. Temperature

One of the more important factors in growing Clivia is the ambient temperature. If you want plants to grow well, you must first keep them in a temperature suitable for growth. The same principle applies to growing Clivia. The most suitable temperature for Clivia to grow is 15-20 degrees Celsius, which is the current temperature.

If the temperature is too high or too low, it will definitely affect the growth of Clivia. Therefore, when we grow Clivia, we should try our best to prevent the environmental temperature of Clivia from fluctuating greatly.

2. Lighting

Good lighting allows Clivia to photosynthesize better. Whether it is Clivia or other plants, light is very important for plants. Huahua wants to remind everyone not to expose Clivia to sunlight all day long.

Full-day sunlight is not suitable for the growth of Clivia, and it may cause the water of Clivia to evaporate too quickly, resulting in wilting symptoms. 5-6 hours of astigmatism exposure per day is enough. In addition to the issue of exposure time, you can also cover the plants with opaque plastic bags at night to prevent light from affecting the flowering of the plants.

3. Fertilization

If daily maintenance is in place and the Clivia does not bloom for a long time, it means that you have not given the plant enough fertilizer. Huahua knows that many flower lovers have read a lot of information about flower cultivation and think that applying nitrogen fertilizer to plants can make them grow faster, but the Clivia will grow bigger but may not necessarily bloom.

Huahua recommends that you not only apply nitrogen fertilizer to the plants, but also apply some phosphorus fertilizer to the Clivia. Phosphorus fertilizer is also very important for Clivia. Its main function is to promote the differentiation of Clivia flower buds and make it bloom faster. Huahua would also like to remind you that it is best to apply multiple fertilizers together during normal fertilization.

That’s all I have to say about how to grow Clivia. Now let’s find out why your Clivia doesn’t bloom!
