Growing Clivia in July follows the "4 Don'ts" principle. It will grow strong and have luxuriant leaves
Many flower friends say that Clivia is difficult to grow in summer and is particularly prone to root rot and yellowing of leaves. It has now entered July, which can be said to be the hottest month. At this time, Clivia is more prone to various problems. If you always fail to grow Clivia in summer, you can follow the "4 Don'ts" principle to maintain it, so that the plant can grow strong, have luxuriant leaves, and spend the summer safely.
Can't repot
Recently, some flower friends asked, the Clivia is in very bad condition, can it be repotted? In summer, the condition of Clivia is not very good, which is normal. Because it is not resistant to high temperatures, if the temperature of the maintenance environment is too high, it will stop growing and enter a dormant state.
When Clivia goes dormant in summer, the plant is relatively weak. It is best not to repot it at this time. During the repotting process, the root system of the plant will be damaged and it will easily rot from the wound. Besides, the plant is basically not growing at this time, and it is not easy to repot it after repotting.
If you want to repot the Clivia, you can wait for a while. After September, when the weather gets cooler and the plant returns to normal growth, it will be easier to repot it.
Do not fertilize again
Clivia will have dormant habits in high temperature environments. Once the plant goes dormant, it will no longer grow. At this time, not only do not repot it, but it is also not recommended to fertilize it. Many people who fertilize at this time will cause fertilizer damage, burning the root system, and eventually root rot will appear, and the leaves will turn yellow.
In fact, at this time, Clivia does not need much nutrients. Its leaves store a lot of nutrients. It does not matter if you don’t need to fertilize throughout the summer. For those dormant Clivias, do not fertilize at this time. .
Clivia will usually return to normal growth in autumn when the weather starts to get cooler. At that time, you can water it with some thin fertilizer or bury some fermented and rotten organic fertilizer in the flower pot, and it will be able to grow. Growing vigorously.
Do not water too much
For Clivia whose leaves turn severely yellow in summer, you need to check whether the root system is rotten, because at this time, too much watering causes too much root rot, and the plant is in the dormant period. It doesn't require much moisture. Especially for Clivia grown indoors, water evaporates relatively slowly. Excessive watering will make the pot soil wet for a long time, so the roots cannot breathe normally, and the roots are prone to stuffy roots and yellowing of leaves.
When watering Clivia in summer, you must follow the principle of seeing dry and wet, that is, watering when the pot soil is completely dry. If it is not dry, do not water frequently to prevent root rot caused by overwatering.
Don’t bask in the sun
When caring for Clivia in the summer, many leaves will be scorched, leaving ugly marks on the leaves. Do not let it bask in the sun at this time, otherwise it will easily burn the young leaves. . Therefore, during high temperatures in summer, you need to shade it or place it indoors in a well-ventilated area for maintenance.
Clivia does not always have to be exposed to the sun. In other seasons, it needs to see more sunshine. If it cannot see the sun for a long time, the leaves will become thin and lack luster, and the flowering period will also affect the arrow. flowering. In spring, winter and autumn, try to let it receive as much soft light as possible.
It is not that difficult to raise Clivia in summer. As long as you follow the above points for maintenance, the plant can survive the summer safely and resume vigorous growth in autumn.
