The ornamental value of Clivia is very high and has been favored by many people. Now there are many people who raise Clivia at home, but the leaves of Clivia in many people are crooked and ugly. They are not as neat as the Clivia seen in the flower market, like a large green fan, so they will also lower the level and reduce the value. How to make the leaves of Clivia neat and shiny, the editor will teach you a trick today.
First of all, Clivia is a flower that likes to grow in bright astigmatism environments and does not like strong light. In summer, we usually put Clivia in semi-shady places, with a shade rate of 50% to prevent sunburn . In other seasons, you can place it in mild light, such as windowsills facing south or east, and balcony.
However, many people ignore one thing when raising Clivia, that is, they do not often change the direction of the Clivia flower pot. The leaves grow strongly in a light-oriented manner. If the light is uneven, it will cause the growth rate of one leaf on one side to be too fast and the growth rate on the other side to be too slow, which will lead to the growth rate of the leaves, and will no longer be neat and symmetrical. Therefore, for Clivia, the direction of the flower pot should be changed once a week, and the leaves should be placed in a vertical direction of light.
In addition, once the leaves of Clivia grow flat, don’t worry, you can appropriately let the weaker side face the light for a longer time. You can also use tin foil to block the Clivia leaves on the stronger side to prevent light from illuminating, which can reduce the growth rate of the leaves on this side. Over time, the growth of the leaves on both sides will be basically the same.
Generally, the leaves of Clivia with high quality are shiny and shiny, looking like a green mirror, but if they are not maintained, they will also be dull and light, and there are many such situations. So in order to make its leaves dark green and beautiful, you can often use beer, dilute the beer 80 times, and wipe the leaves with a clean towel. After a period of time, the leaves will be shiny. Of course, you can also use banana peel to wipe the leaves, which can not only supplement nutrients, but also brighten the leaves.
It is about to bloom in Clivia. How can you make Clivia grow a foil quickly?
First, put Clivia in a place with sufficient sunshine and shine for 4 to 6 hours a day, with a gentle light. For example, it can be placed on the windowsill, balcony, bay window on the south side, or in a place with sufficient light.
Second, timely supplement phosphate potassium fertilizer , such as bone meal, Huaduoduo No. 2, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, use 1 to 2 months in advance, without arrows, the flowers grown are big and beautiful.
