1. Soil: Clivia miniata is usually planted in soil with good air permeability and water permeability. Fertile soil is helpful for the growth of the plant.Conditional words, can make up nutritive soil by oneself, generally with rotten leaf soil, pine needle, river sand and base fertilizer, according to 6:2:1:1 proportion is mixed.Among them, the rotten leaf soil should be more broad-leaved rotten leaf soil, not coniferous rotten leaf soil.In the first year, seedlings should be potted in 3 inches, in the second year, 5 inches, and then potted every 1-2 years according to the size of the plant.
2. Illumination: Clivia miniata is very sensitive to illumination.Its growth needs light and can not be exposed to the sun for a long time.The stronger the light, the more beautiful the flowers will be, but the flowering period will be shorter.If the light is weak, the color of the plant will be lighter.Generally, when the temperature is suitable, the plant can receive 8 hours of light, in high temperature weather, two hours of sunshine a day can be, but also to avoid the hot sun at noon.
3, temperature: Clivia fear of heat and cold, high temperature and low temperature are not helpful to the growth.If the temperature exceeds 30 C in summer, it needs to be cooled down.Large-scale farming generally uses the way of shading to cool down, and domestic farming can be directly moved to semi-shade to maintain good ventilation.At the same time, you can also sprinkle some water around, water evaporation also has the effect of absorbing heat, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling.
4. Watering: Clivia miniata has fleshy roots, which are organs with strong water storage capacity, so the demand for water is not very large.However, in its growth period, if the water is insufficient, the plant will also be damaged, resulting in new leaves can not sprout, old leaves will be scorched.Usually irrigate when the pot soil is half dry, pay attention to controlling the amount of water, keep the pot soil slightly moist, not too wet, not to have water accumulation.
The growth of Clivia needs nutrients, so it is necessary to apply good fertilizer, according to the different nutrients, the choice of fertilizer is also different.First of all, base fertilizer, usually added when repotting, multi-purpose barnyard manure, compost, green manure and soybean cake fertilizer.Secondly, in the growth period to topdressing, solid fertilizer can be used cake fertilizer, fish meal and bone meal, liquid fertilizer is generally used with decomposed organic fertilizer mixed with water.If you want to apply quick-acting fertilizer, you can use urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and calcium superphosphate.
