Fertilizing Clivia is carried out during the growth period, usually once every 10 days, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer. Before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used to promote the differentiation of plant flower buds and enable better flowering. It is necessary to stop fertilizing in summer, otherwise there will be fertilizer damage. For maintenance, breathable flower soil should be used, the temperature should not be higher than 30°C, and it should not be exposed to sunlight.

1. Fertilization method

Fertilizer for Clivia is usually during the growth period. You can apply a light fertilizer based on nitrogen fertilizer once every 10 days, which can help the growth of plant branches and leaves. When the temperature is too high in summer, fertilizer needs to be controlled or stopped. Fertilization should be thin and frequent. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used in autumn, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds and are very helpful for flowering.

1. Soil: To cultivate Clivia, you need to use soil that is well-permeable and breathable, and it must be slightly acidic. If you use alkaline soil, its growth will be affected. Also, some base fertilizer should be added to the soil when potting.

2. Summer heat: The temperature in midsummer should not be higher than 30℃. Excessive temperature will be harmful to its growth. At this time, a greenhouse can be built to cool down. You can also bury the potted plants in the sand and sprinkle them with water in the morning and evening to moisturize and cool down.

Its root system is fleshy and contains a certain amount of moisture, so it should not be watered too much. When watering, you need to wait until the cultivation soil is completely dry, and do not water until it is dry. Rainwater, snow water, and pond water can be used for watering. Tap water is commonly used for domestic cultivation. In fact, this is the lowest water. It must be left for 2-3 days before use to remove some harmful substances.
