The vigorous growth of Clivia depends entirely on this "spoon of oil", the leaves stand upright like arrows, and the flower buds are gorgeous!

Clivia is actually a common household flower. Even though it is difficult to grow, because its leaves are green and upright like arrows and the flower buds are very beautiful when in bloom, many flower lovers place it in their homes because of its ornamental value. If you want to grow Clivia well, you need some methods and techniques. We can use some tips, such as using a spoonful of oil to care for Clivia.

Feed the Clivia with "a spoonful of oil", and its leaves will stand upright and bloom vigorously!

The spoonful of oil that Huahua mentioned is actually the waste oil in the common range hoods in our homes. When cooking at home, it will absorb a lot of oil fumes, which accumulate and become the waste oil. Waste oil is rich in fat and protein, and Clivia is a plant that likes fertilizer. We ferment the waste oil and use it to maintain it, which can effectively supplement it with the nutrients needed for growth, thereby promoting the growth of leaves and flower buds.

Specific operation methods of using waste oil to maintain Clivia:

Because waste oil has a thick texture and is rich in nutrients, it may burn the flower roots if used directly. Therefore, we need to add water to dilute and ferment waste oil. First pour the waste oil into a sealed container, then add water and place it in a cool place for fermentation. This will take about half a month for the waste oil solution to ferment. At this time, we can take the clear liquid on the top to water the Clivia. However, it is best to dilute it with 50 times the amount of water to prevent the opposite effect.

Daily maintenance methods:

1. Clivia needs additional light during its growth period, otherwise the leaves will wilt and bloom slowly. However, when supplementing light for Clivia, remember to use a diffuse light source to avoid strong light. In addition, you need to adjust the direction of the Clivia periodically to ensure that the leaves on both sides grow synchronously.

2. I believe that many flower lovers have killed their Clivia because of watering problems. Because Clivia has fleshy roots, the most feared thing is root rot caused by water accumulation. Therefore, when watering, you must pay attention to the dryness and wetness inside the flowerpot. When watering, you should adopt the method of watering when the soil is dry and then watering when the soil is wet. This will avoid water accumulation in the pot. In winter, you must control the amount of water to ensure its growth trend.

Clivia is pleasing to the eye but its maintenance requires a lot of effort. We can adopt some tips in daily maintenance, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort. I wonder if everyone has used this method of using waste oil to maintain Clivia?
