2. Whether you can bask in the sun

Clivia is very sensitive to the cold. During the winter, the temperature needs to be adjusted between 15 and 20°C. When the temperature is too low, it needs to be kept warm. Watering should be sparse, usually once a month, and can be shortened appropriately if the environment is warm. When spending the winter indoors, windows should be opened frequently for ventilation, but they should not be placed in air vents for maintenance. It can bask in the sun, especially in winter, and needs to be exposed to light throughout the day.

1. Winter maintenance

1. Temperature: Clivia is afraid of cold. During winter maintenance, the temperature should be adjusted between 15~20℃. Do not let the temperature fall below 10℃, because it will cause the plant to grow. Slow, even suspended growth. If the maintenance temperature is lower than 0℃, frost damage will occur and it will be easily frostbitten, so when the temperature is too low, you must pay attention to keeping warm.

2. Watering: Less watering is required during winter maintenance. It is usually watered once a month, but the specific adjustment should be based on the maintenance environment. If the environment is warm, it can be shortened to once every half month. When the air humidity is low, you can also spray it with a watering can to increase the humidity.

3. Ventilation: Usually, people will move the plants indoors after winter, and the indoor environment is usually very warm. If there is no ventilation for a long time, it will be detrimental to its growth. Therefore, windows should be opened frequently for ventilation to ensure good air circulation. But what should be avoided is that the plants cannot be placed in the wind outlet, which may easily increase the chance of frostbite.

2. Can you bask in the sun?

Clivia can bask in the sun, but it does not like too strong sunlight. When the sun is not strong, it can be raised in the sun. It doesn’t matter if you see light every day in winter. Ensure sufficient light and a good lighting environment, which will be more beneficial to its flowering. In addition, the flowerpot should be rotated appropriately so that the leaves on both sides of the plant will grow more symmetrically.
