Grow Clivia in winter to avoid the "three fears", the leaves will be neat and the flowers will be bright red!
In winter, many people will grow flowers, because the air in winter is dull, and if the room is not regularly ventilated, the air will become stale. Raising a pot of flowers and plants will not only make the environment beautiful, but also purify the air. Especially if you keep a pot of Clivia indoors, its wide and thick leaves have many pores, which can secrete a large amount of mucus, absorb dust, dust and harmful gases, making the indoor air cleaner.
Clivia is actually a very typical ornamental potted plant in life. Its leaves and flowers have high ornamental value. Although it can only bloom once a year, even if you admire its leaves alone, you can be full of praise. At the same time, it not only has external beauty, but also very elegant internal beauty. It has always been the favorite of current flower growers.
The flowering period of Clivia is in winter and spring. If maintained properly, Clivia can bloom early. If you cannot grow Clivia well in winter, you must avoid these three fears in time to ensure smooth flowering and neat leaves.
Afraid of constant temperature in winter
Clivia likes to grow in a warm environment. Before blooming, growing at one temperature for a long time will cause it to bloom late. Therefore, many clivias in the south will bloom early, because there is no heating in the south in winter, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Just like after low temperature treatment, it can bloom early.
If we raise Clivia in the north and want it to bloom as early as possible, we must also treat it at low temperature. For example, place it in a sunny place during the day and put it in a lower temperature at night. If the temperature at home is relatively constant, you can place it at the window, open a gap in the window, and ensure that there is a certain temperature difference between day and night without being damaged by the cold wind. In this way, it will bloom after a period of time.
Less sensitive to light in winter
The leaves of Clivia are plump, plump, neat and green. They look relatively firm on the outside, but are actually relatively delicate. They are most afraid of being exposed to strong light. In summer, if you stay in a location with sufficient sunlight for a long time, it is easy to get sunburn . Therefore, except in autumn and winter, it must be blocked from strong light at other times. Choose to place it in an environment with astigmatism to make it easier to grow vigorously.
But in autumn and winter, you must raise it in a sunny place, because sufficient light can promote plant photosynthesis and use synthetic nutrients to flow back to the roots, so as to promote flowering. At the same time, because the temperature is low, placing it in a place with good sunlight can also increase the surrounding temperature and improve index resistance, which is beneficial to surviving the winter.
Afraid of heavy water in winter
The root system of Clivia is very weak. If you don't pay attention to watering too much, root rot will easily occur. We usually recommend less watering when raising Clivia, and try to ensure that the soil is slightly dry. This will not affect its growth, but watering it too frequently will cause it to die faster.
You should water less before flowering, because too much water will cause the leaves to grow too fast, absorbing too many nutrients and affecting flowering, resulting in delayed flowering.
