Article Catalog

1. Acidic or alkaline

2. Winter maintenance

Clivia is acidic, so you need to use slightly acidic soil when cultivating it. However, it is not allowed to be too acidic. It will also affect its growth. The leaves will grow slender and the roots will rot. During winter maintenance, the temperature needs to be adjusted to above 10°C, the potting soil should be replenished with water, and it should be placed in a location with better light for maintenance. But it should be noted that the water temperature cannot be too low.

1. Acidic or alkaline?

Clivia prefers slightly acidic pH. When the pH value is 5.5~6.5, the growth status of the plant is better. If it is too acidic, it will affect its growth. If the pH of the soil used is not suitable, the leaves will look very spindly and root rot may occur.

2. Winter maintenance

1 . Entering the house: The temperature in winter is generally low, so if it was raised outdoors before, it needs to be moved indoors for maintenance. In addition, heat preservation work must be done. It grows best at 15~25℃. The maintenance temperature should not be lower than 10℃. If the temperature is too low, it will affect its flowering.

2. Watering: Water it very little in winter because its root system is fleshy and is afraid of water accumulation. In addition, water does not evaporate quickly in winter, so it is necessary to Control water. After the pot soil is dry, you can add some water to it. In addition, you can also spray some water on the leaves to increase the humidity of maintenance.

3. Sunshine: Keep it in the sun throughout the winter In an environment with good lighting, especially when it is about to bloom, it should be exposed to more light. When exposed to light, the flowerpot should be rotated appropriately so that the plants can see the light evenly.

4. Note: Watering should not be done half way, and the water temperature should also be controlled. Do not use water that is too cold. In addition, the ventilation of the maintenance environment should be enhanced. Only timely ventilation can promote its growth.
