Therefore, in our country, Clivia will be semi-dormant and will stop growing completely. After autumn enters, the temperature becomes lower, and at this time, Clivia will stop hibernating and wake up. Clivia usually starts to grow flower arrows during this season, and then blooms in winter and blooms until spring. The two months of October to November each year are crucial periods for the differentiation of Clivia buds.
After October, except for the high temperatures in some areas, most areas in my country have begun to cool down, generally not higher than 25 degrees. Later on, it is Mid-Autumn Festival and late autumn. The temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees, which is the favorite temperature of Clivia. Clivia will take this opportunity to grow flowers and buds quickly. But we also need to maintain it so that it can quickly grow flower arrows.
If we do not take advantage of this critical period, the differentiation of Clivia buds will be bad, and then there will be no way to appreciate its flowers back then. Note that there are "4 taboos" at this time, so that you can ensure that you can grow strong flower arrows in the future and thus bloom beautiful flowers.
1. Avoid no temperature difference between day and night
Many people who have raised Clivia have this experience: even though they have noticed the water, fertilizer and light, they have done it well. There are foil swords, but they are always blocked by the leaves, as if they are stuck inside and cannot come out, which affects its ornamentality. This phenomenon is called "climbing arrows". The reason for this situation is related to insufficient temperature changes. To grow from the leaves, appropriate temperature difference between day and night is required. If the temperature in the room is always warm and the temperature difference is not enough, Clivia will not grow well.
So we pay attention to the problem of temperature difference between day and night when there is a foil in the leaves, and there must be a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees. I can give you tips: put Cavica in the window or balcony at night, and the temperature is generally below 0 degrees or below 10 degrees; during the day, put Cavica in the room, and the maximum temperature can generally be 20 degrees, so the temperature difference is relatively large. Under such conditions, the flower sword can be emitted from the leaves for 15 days, and the flowers will be above the leaves in the future.
2. Avoid not fertilizing
In order to make Clivia grow more vigorously from October to November, don’t forget to add fertilizer to it every once in a while. At this time, the flower buds, roots and leaves of Clivia need nutrition. In order to satisfy the nutrition of roots and leaves, we need to help it supplement organic fertilizer. It can be sprinkled with cattle and sheep manure and sprinkled on it, or it can be used to use alum fertilizer and water or fruit peel fertilizer. Clivia is very sensitive to fertilizer, the roots are very thick and easy to burn. Do not use fertilizers with too high concentrations, just apply thin fertilizer frequently.
can be fertilized twice a month, according to a ratio of one to one thousand. After entering mid-to-late October, the flower arrows of Clivia cannot be seen, but in fact, the flower buds are already differentiating at this time, so we choose phosphate fertilizer , such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate or Huaduoduo No. 2, which can promote plant blossom. To prepare , you can use 1g potassium dihydrogen phosphate with 1,000 ml of water, stir evenly, then pour it into the roots, or apply it to the leaves, two or three times a month.
3. Avoid not rubbing leaves after being in the rain
The rainfall in autumn is relatively high. As long as the temperature is above 10℃, you can take Cvia outdoors on rainy days to allow it to be soaked by rain. This is very beneficial to it. It can adjust the pH value of the soil, make the roots more vibrant, and help new leaves grow. But there must be a degree, not too long, and take it back indoors within one day. You can't ignore it when you take it back. You have to use a clean cloth to wipe off the rainwater from the leaves.
Because the rain water is actually not very clean, it contains many bacteria. After the water evaporates, they will remain on the leaves, which will cause Clivia to rot.Moreover, moisture is prone to accumulation in the heart of the leaves, so you can absorb it clean with a piece of absorbent paper and then place it in a ventilated place.
4. Avoid insufficient moisture
Friends, when helping Clivia repot, you should find that its root system is very similar to the roots of plants such as Dendrobium and Orchid . They all belong to Serky root , white and thick, without hair roots, and no branches. Although the fleshy roots have strong water storage capacity, they are tough and can be broken with a little force, so Clivia cannot grow in a very strong soil. Therefore, we should choose the soil suitable for it according to its characteristics, and it is best to be loose, breathable, and have a little humidity.
When configuring soil, you should deliberately choose softer soil, such as leaf rot soil and pine needle soil . Watering should be adjusted according to the season. In summer, Clivia is no longer as active as usual, but enters a semi-dormant state. No matter how hot the weather is, you cannot replenish it too much water. Be careful to control it! In autumn, the temperature is most suitable for Clivia growth. Clivia plants in the growing stage have a great demand for water, so the amount of watering should be appropriately increased at this time.
As the saying goes, it is better not to water randomly. There are some specialties in watering Clivia. After seeing the surface of the soil in the pot turn white, dig down three or four centimeters. If you see that it is moist, then you don’t need to water it. If it has dried, rehydrate immediately. The above is the "4 taboos" that you want to remind everyone to pay attention to. October to November is the time to differentiate the flower buds. If you do it well, the flower arrows will grow more vigorously. I hope it will be helpful to you.
