A young lady left a message:
Own Clivia has been raised for 3 years and is very strong. A friend told her that it is expected to bloom this year and needs to be carefully maintained.
After the autumn cooled, the young lady diligently turned the pot of Clivia, used the best soft planting materials, and added waist fat. She kept paying attention to the light and fertilized Clivia regularly.
As a result, the young lady found that her Clivia was in bloom, the flower arrow was not drawn out, the flowers were sandwiched between the leaves, and it looked very uncomfortable. I wonder if there was any help? I feel that my hard work is going to waste again.
Clivia did not successfully draw out the flower arrow, and then it bloomed in a hurry. We call it "clip arrow", which is a relatively common phenomenon, but it makes flower lovers headache.
Why does Clivia get arrows
Why does Clivia get arrows? There are two factors that are critical.
First, there is insufficient nutrients; the other is insufficient temperature difference.
Clivia has insufficient nutrients, which may be due to insufficient nutrients in the pot soil, which may be due to insufficient photosynthesis, or the sudden root rot, resulting in limited nutrient absorption. Which type is specific, it must be judged based on the situation of your own Clivia and corrected in a timely manner.
Clivia blooms and has to go through a low-temperature vernalization process. Its flowering temperature is between 15-25 degrees, but the temperature difference between day and night is preferably between 8-15 degrees. The temperature difference is insufficient and it is easy to catch arrows.
How to solve the problem of cliving arrows with Clivia
Understand why Clivia has an arrow, so it must take corresponding measures to help it quickly pull out the flower arrows and solve the embarrassment of cliving arrows. Share two particularly useful tips:
First, prepare a black plastic bag, fold it into a 10-cm wide strip, block the Clivia flower arrows, don't let it pass through. You can breathe properly at night. After about 10 days, remove the plastic bags and let the flower arrows bask in the sun beautifully, and the flower arrows will grow taller.
The second is to prepare a bottle of special arrow-promoting agent for Clivia. It is a nutrient solution that does not require dilution and can be used directly to quickly pull arrows.
It is also circulated on the Internet that use beer to water Clivia, which can prevent arrow clavicles or help pull arrows. It is not recommended to use them personally.
In fact, now is the critical moment for Clivia to conceive buds. Instead of waiting until it doesn’t bloom or pick up arrows before thinking of ways, experimenting tricks, and using drugs, it’s better to do your homework in advance so that Clivia can bloom smoothly.
Clivia must meet the flower arrow and bloom, and two "hard" conditions must be met
I tell you that if Clivia wants to draw flower arrows and bloom smoothly, there are two hard conditions that must be met, so don't mess around.
. Appropriate temperature difference
mentioned above that if Clivia wants to draw flowers and bloom smoothly, it must go through a low-temperature vernalization process. That is to say, during the stage of its bud breeding, the temperature difference between day and night remains between 8-15 degrees. This is a hard condition, otherwise the result will definitely not satisfy you.
In some areas, the temperature difference between day and night is enough under natural conditions. "Buddhist" breeding Clivia can bloom, so naturally he sneered at people like us who are struggling.
Some warm winter southern regions , or in the north with heating, it is easy to encounter the problem of not blooming for many years, or blooming with arrows. The temperature difference is a key factor and cannot be ignored.
If you maintain the environment of Clivia, the temperature difference between day and night is less than 8℃, then you have to manually create the temperature difference. Place Clivia in a position with sufficient sunlight during the day so that it can be sunny beautifully; place Clivia in a position with a relatively low temperature at night and be careful not to get frostbite.
This way, it is repeatedly moved back and forth, artificially creating a suitable temperature difference for it, which can help foster flower buds and successfully draw flower arrows.
. Sufficient nutrients
Clivia is a kind of fat-loving flower. During the bud period, the demand for nutrients is higher, especially the phosphorus element. It is a powerful tool for flowering. If the phosphorus element is insufficient, it is naturally difficult to bloom. There are two sources of phosphorus elements: one is its own reserve; the other is additional supplement.
The prerequisites for flowering of Clivia are first of all, with less than 6 pairs of leaves and do not meet the conditions for flowering; secondly, Clivia must be strong enough, have a wide base, thick leaves, and sufficient nutrients to allow flowering to be smoother.
Clivia performs photosynthesis , which can form organic matter, and reduce nutrient consumption at low temperatures at night, so that it can store more and more nutrients, which is also conducive to flowering arrows and blooming.
Additional nutrients for Clivia, there are three channels:
Repot in time when the temperature is appropriate, replace loose, breathable and nutrient-rich soft planting materials to lay a good foundation for the growth and flowering of Clivia.
If Clivia were not repotted in autumn, is it still too late? This depends on the ambient temperature of Clivia. As long as the temperature can continue above 15℃, you can feel at ease to repot the Clivia. After repotting for about 10 days, it will resume growth.
When repotting Clivia, adding waist fat is the most common operation. As for the type of waist fat, choose according to the situation of your own Clivia. Clivia during the growth period uses organic manure to promote growth; Clivia during the flowering period uses bone meal to help bloom.
When Clivia enters the bud stage, we also need to apply additional phosphorus potassium fertilizer to help buds, promote the extraction of flower arrows, and bloom smoothly.
The most commonly used phosphorus potassium fertilizer is potassium dihydrogen phosphate and Huaduoduo No. 2, both of which are OK. Take potassium dihydrogen phosphate as an example:
Add an appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate to 1500 times clean water, stir evenly until it dissolves completely, water the water and water the pot of the pot. Once every 7-10 days, until the flower arrow is drawn out and the buds are ready to bloom.
at the end of the article : Clivia blooms, which is considered a good sign, and good things are coming soon. If your Clivia has not bloomed yet, take action quickly!
