Clivia flowers mostly in summer. Its flowering period is around June-July. If the environment is good, it can bloom all year round, and the flowering period can last 30-50 days. Before the plant blooms, it will first pull out the flower arrows, and then grow corymbs at the top. Each inflorescence has several small flowers, mostly orange in color and funnel-shaped in shape. If you want the plants to bloom, you must first increase the light, then control the temperature, and add some fertilizer.

1. When does it bloom?

Clivia generally blooms in spring and summer, around June to July. If the environment is suitable and properly maintained, the plant can bloom in all seasons, with a flowering period of 30-50 days. It will pull out flower arrows before blooming. The flowers grow at the top, usually with several flowers forming an umbel. Each flower is orange, funnel-shaped, and has 6 petals.

2. How to grow flowers

1. Increase light: Clivia is a plant that likes semi-shade, but preferring semi-shade does not mean that it does not see light. If you want it to bloom, you must provide an appropriate amount of light. Its own short-day characteristics determine that it cannot be exposed to light for a long time, otherwise it will affect the formation of flower buds. It is enough to provide 6-8 hours of light every day, and no more than 2 hours during high temperature periods in summer.

2. Control the temperature: Clivia is suitable for growing in a warm environment , the same goes for flowering. If the temperature is too high, the plant will enter a semi-dormant state. At this time, the flower arrows may not grow, and naturally they will not bloom. If the temperature is too low, the plant will be susceptible to frostbite and will also affect its flowering. Generally, the temperature should be controlled at around 20°C.

3. Appropriate fertilization: Appropriate fertilization will supplement nutrients for Clivia, which will also help it bloom. First of all, apply enough base fertilizer when changing pots, and then apply appropriate top dressing during the growth period. Fertilizer is divided into solid fertilizer and liquid fertilizer. Solid fertilizer includes cake fertilizer, bone meal, etc. Liquid fertilizer is mostly made from retting organic fertilizer mixed with water. Before flowering, you can add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and apply less nitrogen fertilizer.

3. What to do with pinched arrows

Clivia clipping arrows is a relatively common phenomenon. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as too low temperature, insufficient nutrition, lack of oxygen in the pot soil, too small temperature difference, root rot, etc. Different reasons require different treatments. The first is to control the temperature at around 20°C, and the second is to apply fertilizer appropriately and ensure sufficient moisture. In addition, pay attention to the temperature difference between day and night between 5-8℃. If the roots are rotten, take them out of the pot, prune them and replant them.
