Clivia suitable for growth in a warm and dry environment, both afraid of heat and cold, so want to raise is not easy.If you want to make the plant grow more luxuriantly, you must create a good growing environment to avoid too high or too low temperature.In addition, we should pay attention to good ventilation in peacetime to avoid too humid environment, which can also reduce the growth of bacteria.
1. Illumination: The growth of Clivia miniata requires a certain amount of illumination, but it can neither be too strong nor too weak.Although strong light irradiation can make the flower color more colorful, the flowering period will also be shortened.If the light is too weak, the color of the flower will become pale, which will affect its beauty.In the seedling period, 6 hours of light should be provided every day, in spring, autumn and winter, 8 hours of light should be received every day, and 2 hours of light in summer morning is enough.
2. Soil: Clivia miniata is suitable for growing in soil with good ventilation and drainage, and rich humus can provide nutrients for the plant.Generally, humus soil, pine needles, river sand and base fertilizer are used to prepare potting soil, which is mixed according to the ratio of 6:2:1:1.It should be noted that the rotten leaf soil should be used with broad-leaved rotten leaf soil, coniferous rotten leaf soil can not be used alone, the two can be used together, but the proportion should not be too high.
3. Watering: Clivia miniata has fleshy roots and good water storage capacity, so it has strong drought tolerance and does not need more watering.If the air is dry and the temperature is high, the evaporation of water is faster, and the plants need to be provided with sufficient water.Otherwise, long-term drought will also lead to damage to roots and leaves, affect the germination of new leaves, and lead to no flowering.Generally, when the soil is half dry, it can be watered to keep the pot soil moist and not damp.
4. Fertilization: Clivia is a plant that likes fertilizer, but fertilization should be appropriate.First of all, when planting and repotting, we should apply base fertilizer, that is, barnyard manure, compost, etc., which can continuously provide nutrients.Secondly, we should properly apply fertilizer in the growth period, generally using cake fertilizer, fish meal and so on.When fertilizing, remove 2-3 cm of soil and bury it, not too tight on the root.In addition, liquid fertilizer can also be sprayed, usually in the morning, and watered every two days after fertilization to accelerate the absorption of fertilizer.
