If you want to grow Clivia flowers, you must first change the soil in time to ensure that the soil is loose and fertile, which is conducive to the growth and breathing of the roots. Secondly, it is necessary to repot regularly. Due to the phototropism of the plant, it is generally necessary to turn half a circle every 15 days so that it can fully receive light and grow evenly. In addition, proper fertilization is required during its growth period. It should be noted that the plant will not bloom until it has 12 leaves. Plants that are too small will not bloom.

1. How to grow flowers

1. Timely change the soil: Clivia generally needs to change the soil every two years. First, long-term watering with water and fertilizer causes soil compaction, which affects root respiration and water penetration. . The second reason is that the fertility of the soil has weakened and it cannot provide nutrients for the plants. Therefore, soil replacement needs to be done in spring and autumn. The new soil is mainly leaf rot soil, combined with river sand and compost, which can ensure the growth of plants. In addition to the above reasons, if the roots are rotten due to excessive watering, the soil needs to be replaced in time. At the same time, the roots of the plants must be cut and sprayed with carbendazim for disinfection.

2. Regular repotting: If Clivia wants to bloom, it needs Receive adequate light. Since it is a phototropic plant, if the light is uneven, the plant will grow skewed and leggy, which will also affect flowering. Therefore, in order to let it receive better light, it needs to be repotted regularly. For example, initially place the leaves in an east-west direction. After half a month, you can turn them 180° to allow the other side to receive light, so that the plants can grow evenly.

3. Appropriate fertilization: The growth of Clivia requires a certain amount of fertilizer, but at the same time, too much fertilizer should not be applied, otherwise it will damage the roots of the plant. In addition to adding an appropriate amount of base fertilizer when changing pots, appropriate top dressing is also required during the growth period of the plant. Generally, fish meal, bone meal or cake fertilizer is used. When applying fertilizer, dig a 2-3 cm deep pit on the soil surface and bury the fertilizer inside. Generally, apply once a month.

1 2. Sufficient number of leaves: Clivia usually grows leaves first and then blooms. The leaves must grow to 12 leaves. Generally, it takes 4 years to grow to 12 leaves.

2. Pull out the flower arrow: Clivia flowers grow on the top of the flower arrow, so you must pull out the flower arrow before blooming. When you see the flower arrow, it means it is about to bloom.
