Clivia can bask in the sun, but the lighting time must be controlled. Generally, when the temperature is not high, you can bask in the sun for about 8 hours a day, but in high-temperature seasons, you can only bask for two hours. It is a semi-shady plant, which likes neither shade nor sun. It cannot be placed in a sunny place, nor can it be too dark. Since plants are phototropic, they need to be repotted regularly, and scattered light must be provided at ordinary times to control the lighting time.

1. Can it bask in the sun?

Of course Clivia can bask in the sun. It is just afraid of high temperatures and strong light. However, when the light is soft, proper exposure to the sun will help the plant carry out photosynthesis. Nutrients also help it bloom. However, the light time must be strictly controlled. If the light time is too long, the formation of flower buds will often be inhibited, which will delay the flowering period of the plant.

2. Do you like Yin or Yang

< p>Clivia neither likes shade nor sunlight, it prefers to grow in a semi-shady environment. If the environment is too dark, the plants will not be able to synthesize enough nutrients due to insufficient light, and will also cause them to grow leggy. If the light is too strong, or the time in the sun is too long, the flowering period of the plant will also be shortened.

3. Light requirements

1 . Phototropism: The leaves of Clivia are phototropic and tend to grow in the direction of light, so you must pay attention to the placement to avoid the plant growing only to one side, which will look unsightly. Usually its leaves are placed facing the east-west direction, and the pot must be turned every half month, turning 180° so that the other side can also receive light.

2. Scattered light: Clivia is more afraid of strong light, but Growth also requires proper lighting, so it needs to be provided with sufficient scattered light, and it can be placed in a bright place indoors. When the temperature is not high and the light is soft, you can place it in a sunny place. At noon, you must remove it in time to avoid being exposed to strong light.

3. Control the length of time: As mentioned above, long-term exposure to light will affect the flowering of Clivia, so you must pay attention to controlling the length of light. As a short-day plant, in spring and autumn, the time it receives light is about 6-8 hours. The light in summer is too strong, usually two hours in the morning is enough.
