Cultivation methods and precautions of Clivia miniata

The habit of this plant

First, considering that it is originally produced near the tropics, it has relatively high temperature requirements, especially in winter. Also, it requires a lot of light, but cannot accept direct strong light. Secondly, it also has requirements for soil quality. Then there is water. It has a certain degree of drought resistance, but we need to handle watering scientifically.

Specific methods

Temperature: The most suitable temperature for it is fifteen to twenty-five degrees Celsius. The time when we need to pay special attention to the temperature is in winter. If the temperature cannot be controlled within this range due to conditions, then it can be safely wintered at above five degrees Celsius.

Light: Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to maintain about four hours of light a day. In addition, no matter what season it is, it is best not to expose it to direct sunlight.

Soil: First of all, it is required to be rich in humus. Secondly, it also requires the soil to have good air permeability and water permeability. Also, it grows better in slightly acidic soil.

Water: Because this plant has fleshy roots, it has a strong ability to store water. Generally speaking, the moisture content of the soil should be around 30 percent. In spring and autumn, you can water it once every one to two days. In summer, more water is needed, so you can increase the frequency appropriately. In addition, during the flowering period, the amount of water it needs will increase accordingly, and corresponding adjustments can be made according to actual conditions.

Special reminder

When watering, it is best not to pour water on the leaves to prevent the leaves from rotting.
