How to grow Clivia in water culture and what to pay attention to

Growth habits of hydroponic Clivia

Hydroponic Clivia likes a semi-shaded, humid, well-ventilated environment, and likes sunlight, but is not resistant to direct sunlight, high temperature and low temperature environments. The suitable growth temperature is between 18 and 28 degrees. When the ambient temperature is below 10 degrees or above 30 degrees, its growth is inhibited. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic organic soil.

Light requirements: Although Clivia is relatively shade-tolerant, it needs an appropriate amount of light to metabolize normally during its growth process. About four hours of diffuse light a day will suffice. It can receive normal light in the morning and afternoon. When the sun is strong at noon, it needs to be shaded, otherwise it will easily get sunburned.

Hydroponic Clivia cultivation method

After 2-3 years of maintenance of hydroponic Clivia, the roots need to be washed and soaked in potassium permanganate solution to clean them. Rotten and old roots should be trimmed in time. Then add appropriate amount of clean water to the container, change the water every 3 days, apply nutrient solution appropriately, trim the remaining flowers after flowering, and spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote plant growth.

Watering hydroponic Clivia: If you use tap water to grow hydroponic Clivia, you need to let it sit for two days in advance to allow the chlorine in it to be released before use. In addition, the water needs to be changed every day in the early stage of water culture. After it takes root, change the water once a week and gently brush off the moss with a brush.

Fertilization of hydroponic Clivia: The soilless culture nutrient solution is composed of more than 10 major trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. Under normal circumstances, families can use a small amount of potted Clivia fertilizer or buy a special hydroponic flower nutrient solution from a flower shop.

Precautions for hydroponic Clivia maintenance

When hydroponically cultivating Clivia, the roots cannot be completely buried in water, as this will affect its growth. A small part should be left in the air to facilitate the plant's breathing, which is beneficial to its growth.
