Why doesn't Clivia bloom?

1. Mismatch of nutrients

This plant has different requirements for nutrients at different stages of development. During its growth period, it is best to provide nitrogen and potassium fertilizers; during the reproductive period, because the reproductive organs will absorb some of the nutrients, if there is too much nitrogen fertilizer and too little phosphorus fertilizer, the leaves of the plant will easily be elongated, and the flower buds cannot differentiate normally, affecting flowering.

2. Improper water volume control

This plant must have adequate water to develop normally. And the root hairs of this plant need water to dissolve nutrients in the soil before they can absorb them. Therefore, we must water reasonably, otherwise too much or too little watering will cause damage to the roots, making it difficult for the plant to absorb nutrients and not bloom.

3. Inappropriate light exposure

This plant is native to South Africa, where the sunlight usually does not exceed 13 hours. However, we grow the plants indoors, and the indoor lighting exposure time is too long, resulting in the plants only being able to grow but not to differentiate flower buds, and therefore unable to bloom.

4. Unsuitable temperature

The plant's favorite growing temperature is 11 to 17 degrees, and the temperature requirements for the development of flower buds are quite strict. If it is too hot or too cold, the plant will develop poorly, thus affecting its ability to produce flower buds.
