Clivia cultivation methods and precautions

1. Soil

Clivia requires special soil. Its roots are fleshy roots, and the soil should be loose, fertile and well-drained. In addition to special soil, other soils can also be used as long as they are loose and permeable.

2. Temperature

Clivia is afraid of low temperatures. Generally, it can overwinter normally at around 5 degrees Celsius, but will be frostbitten below 0 degrees.

3. Lighting

Clivia should be maintained in a bright place indoors. It should not be placed in direct sunlight or in an overly dark environment. It can grow normally as long as it is in bright light.

4. Fertilizer

During the growing season of the maintenance process, you can add a certain amount of dilute nitrogen fertilizer to the water every time you water it. If you combine fertilizing with watering, it will grow stronger.

5. Notes

1. The tip of the Clivia's leaves should be facing the direction of the light source in the room. If the direction needs to be adjusted when repotting, just turn it 180 degrees, so that its leaves can grow more evenly.

2. Clivia needs a certain temperature difference during its flowering period. If the temperature is too low or too high during the flowering period, and the change is relatively small, it will easily cause the phenomenon of arrow pinching, and the flowers will only grow at the bottom and cannot grow out. By increasing the temperature difference, the situation of arrow jamming can be reduced.
