2. Water according to the degree of dryness and humidity
There are two ways to water Clivia. The first method is to water according to seasons. In spring, you can water once a day. In summer, in addition to watering, you also need to spray water appropriately to increase air humidity. In autumn, when the temperature drops, you can water once every other day. In winter, water should be once a week. The second method is to water according to the dryness and wetness of the soil, check the soil regularly, and water when it is semi-dry. Do not water too much and make sure it is slightly moist but not wet.
1. Water according to seasons
1. Watering according to seasons
Clivia has different water needs in different seasons. Plants resume growth in spring, so watering needs to be gradually increased, usually once a day. In summer, the temperature is relatively high, water evaporates quickly, and the soil dries out more easily. In addition to watering every day, you also need to spray water around to increase the air humidity. If it's rainy weather, you don't need to water it to avoid the overly humid climate from breeding bacteria. When the temperature drops in autumn, the frequency of watering can be reduced, and watering can be done every other day. Winter is relatively cold, so watering is usually done once a week.
2. Water according to the degree of dryness and humidity
Although watering according to seasons is very fixed, sometimes the amount of water cannot be well controlled due to differences in region and climate, so it is best to water based on the dryness and moisture of the soil. Although this plant is highly drought tolerant, it still needs adequate moisture during the growing period. Check the soil regularly and start watering when the soil is semi-dry. Don't water too much. Keep the soil moist but not wet. This is true in any season.
3. Precautions
1 2. Watering position: When watering Clivia, do not water from the top of the plant. If the water gets into the center of the leaves, it will easily cause them to rot. Generally, water should be poured slowly along the wall of the basin. This will make it easier to control the amount of water and avoid pouring too much.
2. What water to use: It is best to water Clivia. Use magnetized water, but this kind of water is not common. It would be good if you can collect rainwater, river water or snow water. Of course, you can also use water from the pond, but it is not so good in comparison. The worst is tap water. Generally speaking, tap water cannot be used directly. It must be left for a few days to wait for harmful substances to precipitate and chlorine to evaporate before using it for irrigation.
3. What to do if you water too much: If you water too much, the first thing to do is to drain the water in time to drain away the excess water. Then loosen the soil appropriately and keep the environment ventilated to allow the moisture to evaporate as soon as possible. If water has accumulated for a period of time, the plant needs to be depotted, the roots inspected and trimmed, and then repotted in dry soil.
