Clivia is fed with "2 kinds of fertilizers", the leaves grow fast, full, thick and shiny
The leaves of Clivia are broad, thick and shiny, and the flowers blooming are more colorful and tall. The ornamental value of so many people like to keep a few pots at home to watch. However, if you want to grow Clivia well, you need some maintenance experience. Many flower lovers always can't grow it well. After a few years of cultivation, it doesn't bloom, and it doesn't even grow new leaves. The original old leaves were also dull and without vitality.
In fact, these problems encountered by flower lovers, I also encountered them when I first began to grow flowers. Later, through continuous learning and accumulation of experience, I gradually learned about the growth habits of various flowers. Can raise them well.
The soil quality of Clivia is very important
Maybe many florists didn’t pay much attention to the soil when they first started growing flowers. After buying the flowers, they would dig some garden soil or roadside soil. It’s better to grow flowers. It’s better to grow some alkaline-loving flowers in this kind of soil. It is generally difficult to grow acid-loving flowers, especially flowers like Clivia. If the pot soil has poor air permeability and lacks nutrients, the roots are in it. It doesn't grow much at all, especially after the potting soil forms compaction, it is very difficult for it to absorb nutrients, so it is not surprising that new leaves or flowers are not seen.
If the Clivia potted plant at home has not seen new leaves for a long time, and the potting soil has already appeared compaction, it is recommended to repot it in spring or autumn, and at the same time trim off the empty roots and roots of the plant roots. Rotten roots, and sterilize plants with rotten roots.
The new culture soil must be loose and breathable. You can collect some fermented and decomposed pine needle soil to grow Clivia. If there is no pine needle soil, you can also go to the forest to dig some loose and breathable mulch.Come back and let it dry in the sun for a few days, and then mix in some cinder particles or river sand as cultivation soil. If you are afraid of trouble, you can directly buy nutrient soil prepared by others. In short, do not use soil with poor air permeability and no nutrients.
Commonly used 2 fertilizer Clivia
Clivia is a relatively fertile flower. If the pot soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, the root system of the plant will grow thick and strong. The bottom part of the base is also very thick and full, with thick leaves and black and bright colors. In this case, the plants are also easier to bloom. Therefore, if you want the Clivia to grow vigorously, you must supply it with sufficient nutrients. Of course, this does not necessarily need to use a good flower fertilizer. If you often use inorganic fertilizer, the potting soil is easier to compact and the nutrients are not easily absorbed. Applying some decomposed organic fertilizer in the flowerpot can loosen the soil more, and the fertilizer effect will be more lasting.
is like the sheep manure used for growing flowers. It is easier to collect in rural florists. After it is fermented, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements in it are more balanced, and it is often given in potted soil. Buried in a small amount of sheep manure can make the soil softer and more breathable, which is conducive to the growth of the root system. The root system grows strong and has strong absorption capacity, and the plant naturally grows vigorously.
Then there is sesame cake fertilizer, which is the cake residue left after the sesame oil is pressed. The nutrition inside is comprehensive. After fermentation, it is very good flower fertilizer. It is often applied in the clivia pots. Plants supplement nutrients and loosen the soil to prevent compaction. It will not take long for the plants to be full of vitality.
cannot be short of light for a long time
If you want Clivia to grow fast, it is not enough to have good soil, water and fertilizer. As the saying goes, "everything grows by the sun", and light is also an important condition for plant growth. Usually the Clivia grown in our house is kept indoors for viewing, and we are usually worried about the strong light from damaging its leaves, so we seldom let it receive light. In the case of long-term lack of light,It will also affect plant growth.
Because plants grow through photosynthesis to produce nutrient compounds, if there is a long-term lack of light, there will be insufficient photosynthesis. In this case, no matter how much fertilizer is added to it, the plant cannot absorb it, let alone To grow fast.
In fact, Clivia is also a relatively sun-loving flower, but it should not be exposed to the sun, especially in summer, pay attention to shade it, and you can see it in other seasons. Sunshine, receiving more light not only promotes growth, but also more conducive to its flowering.
